The Observer Office, 169, Strand, London, Sept. 1822. MONDAY EDITION « THE OBSERVER," A Weekly Newspaper, ' particularly desirable for Coun- try and Foreign Circulation, Price Sevenpence. SEVEN years have now elapsed since the publication of a Monday Edition of" The Observer" commenced.— The conductors of this Journal, in now coming forward to ex- press their grateful acknowledgments for the distinguished pa- tronage they have progressively received during the whole of that period, and forthe high place which they frave at length attained in the public estimation, cannot but feel a proud con- sciousness that this success is not to be ascribed to any - sudden or capricious ebullition of popular curiosity, but to the manifest and intrinsic superiority which " The Monday Edition of The Observer" has invariably maintained over everyone of its com- petitors. The pledge with which " The Monday Edition of The Ob- server" set out has been fully redeemed : no pains—- no labour — no expense have been spared to gratify the public taste ; and with the full determination of encreasing rather than diminish- ing their zeal, the conductors, with, they trust, not au unbe- coming confidence, claim still further support. It is impossible to speak of" The Monday Edition of The Observer" without alluding to " The Sunday Observer," the parent stcf » k from which it sprung. This paper, which has been established upwards of thirty years, andthe circulation of which, as has been incontrovertib'ly proved by the late Parlia- mentary Stamp Returns, has outstripped, by some thousands, all its contemporaries, is too universally know n to require com- mendation ; and we now only refer to it for the purpose of stat- ing that the some unprecedented exertions— the same talent— the same unremitting . activity, which placed that paper in so v? lim$ ble a point of view, and which has ^ o frequently excited the astonishment as well as the admiration of it* readers, are devoted, with equal energy, to promote the utility and uphold the character of " The Monday Edition." Il but due to state, that the literary establishment of these two papers embraces the exclu- ive labours of seven gentlemen, independent df occasional assistants, whose duty it is assidu- ously to watch the course of public events, and to pour the joint produce of their labours into thtir columns. To the obvious Jesuits of such an arrangement is to be attributed the great superiority which the two Editions of 44 The Observer," on every occasion, where public curiosity has been awakened, has displayed ; and it is to this circumstance the Conductors owe ihe honourable preference which their Journals have, at all times, experienced, when opportunities have been afforded: of comparing their merits with those of any other Journal in ihe metropolis. ' i he Conductors of " The Observer" are aware, that by thus proclaiming their own fame, they may be accused of unseemly vanity. In this age of competition, fepwever, when so many at- tempts are made to impose on society by fallacious statements, and by promises never meant to be performed, they think that the old established servants of the public should come boldly forward— openly and fairly stale their pretensions, and, as the Conductors of the Two Editions of The Observer" now do, confidently submit those pretensions to the test of past ex- perience. The great object of the Conductors of 11 The Observer" has been not only to furnish to their readers a superior account of e\ ery transaction which has happened during ihe week, but to distinguish its columns by novelty aud exclusive information, • which had altogether escaped . the notice cf ihe other papers. In this effort the means which they possess has enabled them to b* singularly successful. Another and not less important ob- ject has been, to pay « uch attention to the occurrences of the day immediately preceding ti » < etr publication, as to challenge com- parison with the most respectable of the Daily Press. A few instances of the many, in which " The Observer" has stood pre- eminently conspicuous in this way, will suffice to shew that the present appeal is grounded upon no idle or fictitious foundation, Many of these efforts must be still fresh in the re- collection of the pub'-' c; and that they have been appreciated according to their merit, we may say the extraordinary sale of 44 Tbe Obei ver" affords ample proof. Id M The Observer" first appeared a full- report of the In- ( preSt, upon the Body of the late Samuel Whi thread, Esq. which occurred early in the week, but which escaped the notice of the whole of the rest of the London Press. In ** The Observer" appeared, on the day immediately suc- ceeding the inquiry in the Sheriff's Court, the Trial of 4t The Earl of tioseberry v. Sir Henry Mildmay." for Crira. Con. to the extent of ten columns, a circumstance unprecedented ih the History of Sunday Newspapers. in " The Observer" also appeared, at subsequent periods, avast number of other important Trials, which took place in t! ie same Court, ami which were unnoticed by the other Papers till 44 The Observer" was published. la/' The Observer" first appeared the Trial of Lord Coch- ran- e, . ftt Guildford, Jo'tfee extent of seven columns^ which Trial did not finish till Saturday afternoon, and which was obtained by express. In 44 The Observer" first appeared the Verdiptiin the Case of Brandreth, who with his associates, was tried for High Trea- son at Dei by. The verdict in this case was not returned until Saturday afternoon, and was received at the Observer Office, in London, the same nighf, by the aid of fleet horses, placed on the road for that purpose. In The Observer" first appeared the intelligence of the Death of his late Majesty, who died at Windsor on Satuiday night— also obtained by a special express. In " The Monday's Observer" first appeared the speech of the Attorney General against Watson and others, when brought to Trial at the Court of King's Bench for High Treason, to the extent of five columns on the very day on which the Trial commenced. The publication of the Trial was subsequently interdicted till tho Trial was concluded, and the subsequent Monday's Observer was the first to announce Dr. Watson's acquittal. It may be here added, that on several other occa- sions the Monday's Observer Was rendered conspicuous for giving voluminous reports of all the Public Meetings in Spa- fields and elsewhere, which repeatedly occurred on the day of publication. 44 In the Observer" first, and for some timei exclusively, ap- peared the Trials of Thistlewood, lugs, Brent, and others, convicted of High Treason at the Old Bailey, to the extent ( a double paper having been published) of thirty columns. In " The Observer," for the first time, and exclusively, ap- peared a Series of most important Trials in the Court of Ex* chequer of persons, against whom informations had been filed by the Attorney General, for vending Imitative Tea, Coffee, Pepper, and other articles of common consumption, as well as against Brewers for mixing deleterious drugs with their beer. In 44 The Observer," for the first time, appeared, exclusively, the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons on the State of the Agriculture of the Country, the Police Report, the Insolvent Debtors* Report, and many others equally interest- ing. The publication of the former had been suppressed till published by 44 The Observer." In " The Observer" appeared the most copious account of the Cato- street Plot, collected by its own Reporters, and through the medium of private channels. Plates representing the scene of conspiracy were likewise published in " The Observer." In 4C The Observer," appeared the most copious details of every thing connected with the melancholy Deaths and Fune- ' rals of her Majesty Queen Charlotte, and her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte, with their respective Memoirs : w ith regard to the latter, 44 The Observer" of every Sunday, for five weeks preceding H. R. H.' s death contained accounts of her health up to eleven o'clock on each Saturday night pre- ceding, obtained by ex presses .. from Claremont, engaged for tbat particular purpose. With " The " Observer" originated the system of sending Re- porters to all the Assizes in'the Kingdom ; and from this source innumetable instances of important Trials appearing for the first time, aud exclusively in " The Observer," may be record- ed. Many of these Trials were brought from great distances by express, and, at the time of publication, excited extraordinary " sensations in the public mind. In " The Observer," for the first time, and exclusively, ap- peared the proceedings of several Court Martials, which had escaped the notice of other Journals, of which the last and not the least interesting, was the Trial of Lieut,- Colonel Gore, at Portman Barracks. In a The Observer." exclusively appeared the first authen- tic announcement of the intention of her late Majesty, Queen Caroline, to return from the Continent to this country, ac- companied with an accurate Memoir of her Majesty. This was followed by many other exclusive communications of the same character, obtained through the medium of the Reporter of 44 The Observer," who proceeded to France for that pur-' posel In " The Observer" first appeared the intelligence of her Majesty's arrival at St. Omer's, obtained by express. In the Monday's Observer first, exclusively, appeared an account of the termination of Mr. Brougham's negotiations with her Majesty at St. Omer's. Her Majesty's subsequent departure for Calais : embarkation, and arrival at Dover— obtained by an express of extraordinary speed, which quitted Calais on the Sunday night in an open boat— reached Dover at half- past ten the next morning, and arrived at the Observer Office at five o'clock the same afternoon. The Reporter of u The Observer" was the only gentleman employed by the Lon- don Press on this important occasion. In ,4 The Observer" subsequently appeared the most de- tailed accounts of every thing connected with her Majesty's af- fairs; and 44 The Observer" was the first to publish the charges against her Majesty, stated by the Attorney General in the House of Lords, on the Saturday, to the extent of five co- lumns, when all the other Sunday Papers extracted their short accounts from- the evening papers of the same day. 44 The Observer," in double papers, afterwards contained the whole of her Majesty's Trial, with the speeches of Mr* Brougham and Mr. Denman, verbatim, and to an extent not even attempted by any other branch of tbe London Press. Finally, 4< The Observer" published the best and most in- teresting details of every circumstance connected with her Majesty's Death and Funeral. The Monday Observer was the first to announce the Death, and to give the most copious particulars of the Death of the Marquis of Londonderry, and on the subsequent Sunday to publish the most accurate account of this melancholy occur- rence, with a Memoir of the Noble Marquis, to the extent of fourteen columns. The Conductors of " The Observer," however, must here close their very Circumscribed notice of the innumerable in- stances in " which 44 The Observer1' has proved its just preten- tions to the confidence and support of the public. If the limit to which they are now necessarily forced to confine this address would permit, their enumeration of extraordinary exertions might be carried to an almost indefinite extent. They have only to add, that on many occasions, where the subjects would permit, copper- plate illustrations have bec » n liberally given, at an enormous cost: such was the case in the view of St. He- lena, when Buonaparte was banished to that island ; the view of Algiers W'hen bombarded by Lord Exmouth : the interior of the House of Lords during the Queen's Trial ; and subse- quently, the interior of the House of Commons: four views of tbe most interesting parts of the ceremony of his present Ma- jesty's Coronation : the view of his Majesty's Landing in Ire- land, Ac. all of which, in their turn, created a demand for " The Observe!" almost beyond calculation* If any thing can be added to confirm the liberal principles by which the Conductors of the " Observer" have been at all times influenced, it is the well known fact, that where the im- portance of the subject required't, they have without hesitation sacrificed the whole of their Advertisement?. In conclusion, it is only to be remarked, that in all these gigantic efforts to gratify the Readers of " The Observer," The Monday's Edition has invariably participated ; and it is with this knowledge that the Conductors now unfeignedly and conscientiously recommend The Monday's Edition oftfhe Ob- server as one of the best Weekly Newspapers no- vr extant. : Tb'e price of « '!. e Monday's Observer is only seven pence for each paper, or eight shillings and . two pence per Quarter; Ordf » s for Its transmission are received by the Clerks of the Kuads, at t. he General Post Office, and by tbe London and Country Newsmen in cvury part of the United Kingdom, NOTICE TO MERCHANTS, MERCHANT TAILORS, AND FAMILIES.

SIR, THE Report from the Water Committee is like tbe Water itself—- long of coming. From wh- c& ution the inhabit are to havr who were a barbarous . atnl uncultivated people, that paiil obeisance to idoij, of which th « re were seven in number ; each beiu; f distinguished and vvorsitijipeti by different names, amt. on following dnvs, according to tl » reverence in^ vhich they t*.- er « held. The Sun being hcH by them in great esteem, . they dedicated the first day to its worship, wiiiehthey called the Sun- dag, sodeuoininated to tlie pre- sent tun?. The nnxt day being the second, they sacrificed to the Moon, whi'pfc was called bv them Moon- dag, front which it Is evident Monday originated. The thiVd day they dedicated to the worship of an idol named Tuisco, who bad been a man of great, reifflwn in subduing tin; Gefjfiaus. This day was styled in honour of his memory, Tuis- dng, Tuesday. It ttitisf, however, bo remarked, that Tacitus ascribes this Honour to the Scandinavian deity Tyr, who was supposed to preside over buttles, and that, in the Danish, and Swedish languages, the name 1 yrsrdag is still retained. Tbe fourth day was set apart for the express purpose/ jf Paying adoration to the imaijo of Odin,, or Wooden, Famous for the many Conquests lx! had made us their leader, and called by them " The God of Bnttle ;'.' though Tacitus describes him under the name of Merpiry, whence it . was er. iiiM Wooden s- dng-^ tm- Wednesiiav. The fifth d5y was ailottedto the wdnjhiffol" Thor, a god supposed by them to have the controui of winds and clouds, and to whom thev prayed for season-' able weather ;. this, therefore, they denominated Thor'i-. dag— now Thursday. The 6th day they worshipped Freya, or Friga, # goddess, represented to be the giver of peace and plenty, i » n3 by some described as tlie pre- siding deity of love. This day they termed Frige- dag, whence was derived Friday, The seventh and last duv, held in honour of Seater, the remaining image, to whom theyoffered thfeif- prayers, for freedom and protection frorrl all their enemies, was distinguished bv them as Sester- dag— now Saturday. The ancient Latin names foftlia days of the week— which are still retained in the Journals of Parliament, and in the writings of medical men— are. Dies Solts, Dies I. uticC, Dies Martis, Dies Mercurii, Dies Jovis, Dies Veneris, Dies Stiturni. The analogy- between theft aud those of the Saxons— the first and second called from the tiartie planets ; the similar flttrilmtf, ascribed " o Tyr and Mars, to Thor and JoVe, to Frign and to Venus, and the resemblance between the sound of Seator and of Saturn, is so striking that niaiu* authors have considered it probable that the mythology of the barbarous nations of the north had a common origin with that of the Greeks and Romans.— Lit. Reg. CURIOUS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT, The following letters from Dr. Adam Clarke gives lis an interesting account of a curious agricultural experi- ment, which the Doctor tried a few years ago :— " DEAR SILL— An account of the following agricul- tural experiment, though not as perfect as I could have wished it, may induce some of your readefs to pursue tho . same method on a lar ger, and I hope more 9uceessfuljscale, " On June 10, 1816, I planted three grains of com- mon red wheat, in what might be called good, but r. ot rich ground, at Milbrook, in Eccleston, Lancashire They sprouted well, and produced several side shoots, which I had intended to divide and transplant car'v' in August ; but being from home, the transplanting was delayed till the 28th of the month. I then took up the three grainsj and divided the shoots, which amounted to 150, but in transplanting, found I had room for only 12i> plants without going to a different soil.- These 12' J plants might be considered the produce of two and a hall' grains of wljerit. " A few of the slips died ; the rest were healthy, and each put forth several side shoots. Owing to the ex-* cessive wetness and backwardness of tire season, I did not transplant these as soon as I could have wished ; but, " On October 18th, I took up all. the survivors of tho 126 plants, subdivided and replanted them in a more open place, and found that the produce was 658 perfect wheat plants. I threw aside what might be called tha produce of half a grain, and ascertained that at this Second subdivision and transplanting, two grains- of wheat had yelded 571 distinct plants, or 287 plants from one grain ! I then committed the whole to the care of Di- vine Providence till the next spring, intending to subdi- vide and transplant the produce of those 571 plants twicd in that season, should it be propitious. " Monday and Tuesday, March 21th and 25th, 1817, I took up the above plants, which had, in general, stood the winter verv well ; a few plants only having died, and a few been killed with the frost, which bad been pretty keen for several mornings in the preceding week. As thev had, in the course of the preceding Octo- ber ( the- time of the last transplanting), and in the begin- ning of this spring, put forth several side shoots, I again divided them, and lotind that one of the grains, that is 2S7 plants, had multiplied itself into 900 plants, and the second grain into 916! These I planted in rows in a field, alongside of other wheat, sown in the common way : setting the plants four inches asunder, and about ten inches between the rows. I once more committed these two grains, in their produce, to the care of that astonishing Providence which had multiplied one into nine hundred ; and intended to subdivide once more, should the spring prove forward and favourable.

Harvest vvp. s finished in the Southern and forward dis- tricts durin< r the course of tire last month ; in tiie north- ern and less favoured, during the present. A tolern- Mv accurate general estimate may now he formed. On all the best lands, wherever situati'd, the wheat crop is considerably aliove an average, the quality uncommonly weighty and fine ; ami the straw, although not so bulky as in some years, substantial and extremely valuable.— The bat- straw as fodder, will almost equal the'hay of some years. The spring crops, it is now confirmed, are « enerai! v defective, but. the quality is generally wood ; upon moist and productive light lands, however., some of these crops have reached an average; and with fespcc t to barley, it is remarked in the barley counties, that the old stock 011 hand equals in quantity the new growth. Havs and grasses rather of fine condition than very great plentv, with exceptions of heavy crops- and plenty of green food, particularly aftermath ou various parts. On potatoes ami turnips nothing new, the for- mer a universally productive growth, the quantity greatly . enhanced bv superior quality, the latter defective in both ; as to Swedes, scarcely any quotable crop. The eager- ness of the farmers, and the two growths, occasioned part of the wheat almost even- where to be carted and stacked prematurely ; whence heating, and a necessity of preventive measures. A great hop and fruit year, even to pears, in some parts. The greatest grape sea- son ofthe last forty. The cider manufactory had com- menced. The live stock and flesh market, as well as that of corn, have oflate made some stand and some ad- vance in price ; but autumn, the season of plenty and overflow, is at hand. The fallows are backward for want of rain, and very little wheat has yet been put into the earth. The state of the farming interest is truly deplorable, in which the poor labourer must necessarily share. It is greatly to the honour of Sir Henry Bun- lairv, that he has taken the lead in recommending, bv a circular to his Suffolk tenantry, the discontinuance for the present of the use of the thrashing machine. m>= s Pins tiie VTXtli.

' WILLIAM TALBOT.* " KINCARDINESHIRE. The weather during the month has proved, as we an- ticipated, peculiarly favourable to the operations ofthe field. Excepting three days, the I 1th, 25th, and this morning, on which there were slight partial showers, it has lieen singularly drv. The harvest of course has been one of the shortest on record, and had the weather been as favourable in the early as the latter part of it, it would perhaps have been the shortest ever known. By the 18th or 20th the fields were almost every where cleared, so that in few instances has it exceeded a month, which is at least eight or ten days less time than usual. Much loss, however, has been sustained by shaking, a circum- stance now a davs much to be dreaded in such a season. In situations where wheat forms a principal part of the produce, the stack yards exhibit a tolerably decent ap- pearance, but in most others they are greatly deficient. \ Ve have heard several fanners estimating the deficiency of the bulk of their oats, bear, and barley, at a third com- pared with ordinary years ; and perhaps this remark is pretty applicable to these crops in general. In many si- tuations the two latter descriptions areextremely deficient, more so indeed than we almost recollect to have seen them. Ill consequence of their being too ripe before it was possible to get them reaped, they were much worse for leading than usual, and that lost in this way still re- wains iu the field, as it was impossible by any means, without a verv considerable expence, to glean it. Ex- cept some wheat very little of the new crop is vet thrash- ed out, Hor would it need to be for several weeks to c/ inm, owing to the scant v appearance of fodder, were it possible to do otherwise, but farmers are so cramped in their circumstances that with many this is inevitable Potatoes are beginning to be taken up and are generally reckoned a good crop. Turnips have not made much progress through the latter part of the month, owing to the. drought, which has also, been somewhat against the brairding of the wheats, but a better sowing season no oi/ e remembers.

Extract of a Letter from a Settler, dated Graham's Town, April 4. " Our situation, 1 can assure von, is in many respects i^ ot very enviable. We poor self- transported settlers form a sort of boundary' against the Cadres, we being on the west side and they on the east side of the great Fish River, and can destroy us whenever they chuse to make a pretext for warfare, when they may come 011 us in large bodies; and although King Kiker and all his tribe are said to be friendly to the English, yet there are six other tribes who are not so, and whom Kiker can- not keep in subjection. We are much annoyed by wolves, hvenas, and jaekalls, who destroy our sheep, and sometimes attack a bullock, if lying down. The bullocks, cows, and calves feed, over large tracks of land ; at nioht thev are driven home, and confined in what is called a crawl, which is made bv placing bushes round them; the sheep are confined tiie same way, but more secure ; but this is no defence' against beasts of prev, which are sure to come in rainy weather and dark, alights. One settler alone lost in one night 100 sheep' by the j wolves and jackalls, and numbers die ' of the cold rainy ; nights. I have known fifty head of cattle to die in one ; night of cold, in Government's crawl, Graham's Town. • The Hottentots, who are very good marksmen, often j bring us in a deer that wiil weigh 5611) 3. and sell it for I three rix dollars ( six shillings :) the skin is worth one- | third of the monev to make upper- leathers for shoes, for ; we cannot buy even a goat skiu tanned under 14s. to i His.; sheep- skins are. only worth 4d. and when tanned 1 s. fid. to 2s.

TIIE LATE ROBBERY OF THE NORWICH AND IPSWICH MAIL. The following are the particulars respecting the late robbery of the above mail:— Mr. Colchester, a confiden - tial clerk in the service of Messrs. Alexander and Co. bankers at Ipswich, and who has been in the habit, for a length of time, of coming to town with conisderable sums of money intrusted to his care, and returning with the like— on the night of yesterday week, Wednesday the 1 Ills inst. he took his seat by the Norwich Mail, ami was returning home to Ipswich with a considerable bulk of uncancelled notes amounting to upwards of L. 40,000, which had been paid by the London bankers. Messrs. Alexander and Co. it seems, have a box fitted up in the seat of the mail for the purpose of giving an additional security to the conveyance of large sums of monev trans- mitted backward and forward, and it was upon tins box that Mr. Colchester kept his seat all the way to Ipswich, except for a few moments. He was accompanied bv three inside passengers, and only left his seat on two occasions ; the first at Ingatestone, where he took a glass during the last he^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ HHfe^ U? the certained at the titrie, that nape cvfljhe stolen notes hail been circulated ; the report to that effect having been made bv those who were so deeply interested for the pur- pose of raising t, heir terms. Yestfrdav bills were posted 011 the walls offering a reward of 5,0001. to those who will oive information ofthe robbery, either at Alexander's and Co. or at Frv's and Co. St Mildred's- conrt, Poultry; so that the parties may be apprehended and convicted, and the propertv recovered. Two thousand pounds have been offered for the conviction of tiie parties without the recovery of the ptoperty ; and the public have been re- quested to take no more of the black ink notes of the Ipswich Bank without well knowing the persons from whom thev receive them, as Alexander and Co. had instructed their bankers in London to refer those who presented such notes toNthemselves at Ipswich. The colour ofthe copper- plate has been changed from black to red, and at Fry's banking house yesterday some notes of. the" Ipswich bank which were presented bv strangers, were stamped with the words " Stolen, referred to Alex- ander and Co. Ipswich," and returned to the persons who presented ther. i. It is calculated that the gang cannot pass more than a couple of hundred pounds' worth of the stolen notes, as a- general terror of the black Ipswich bank notes prevails wherever they have been in circulation. MR. HUME'S VISIT TO BERWICK. On Monday last ( 2od ult.) Mr. Hume paid Ms promised visit to this town. After viewing the pier in company with j Mr. Mayor, he proceeded to the Guild, which was very nu- I merously attended by the burgesses. Immediately after the j burgess' oath was administered to him, the doors of the Guild- hall were thrown open, and every vacant corner was instantly filled by the other inhabitants. Mr. HUME returned his most grateful thanks to the burgesses for the honour they had done him in electing him a member of j this ancient and respectable corporation, not so much on ac- ) count of the mark of respect to himself ( which he yet prized | most highly) but because it showed that, the majority approved j of the line of conduct which he had thought, it his duty to pur- J sue in parliament. Such public testimonies as that he had re- ' i ceived from this corporation were highly useful, inasmuch as i they strengthened his hands by adding the authority of the | people's voice to his own exertions. i THE DINNER. \ At five o'clock, a company of 78 sat down to a mo't sump- 4 tiioui* dinner in the Assembly Room; the Mayor in the Chair, with Mr* Hume on his right; Colonel Ord of Longridge, aud John Grey, Esq. of Mi II field Hill, Vice- Presidents. j. After the cloth was removed, the following toasts were given i from the Chair:— | " The King," with four times three. Tune,—" God save • the King." ( 44 The Royal Family." Tune,—" Fy let us a' to the bridal." f * 4 The House of Brunswick, and may they never forget, nor suffer Ministers to forget the principles which placed the Family on the Throne." Tune,—" Hearts of Oak." I he MAYOR, in an, appropriate speech, in which he pointed I out Mr. Hume's successful efforts in producing a reduction of j taxation, after Ministers had asserted that no farther reduction I could take place, proposed, 41 The health of Mr. Hume," with • three times three. Tune.— 44 A man's a man for a' that." \ Mr. HUME rose.— There had, indeed, been great reduction i made in the public taxation, as the worthy Chairman had i slated, but it was too much to say that it was owing lo the ex- * ertions of one humble individual. The reduction was the re- } suit of the combined exertions of a small band, not more than ] forty in number, but composed of men as respectable for their ii independence and intelligence as any who ever sat in the House ! of . Commons. When attempts were made to put him ( Mr. | Hume) down, by all those means of annoyance which Mini- I sters possessed, l> v their power of influencing a majority in the i House of Commons, that band had supported him in tbe most f efficient manner, ( applause). No man who attended to the j state of the country could fail to see that the evils under which f it laboured arose principally from over taxation and a wasteful I expenditure of the public monev. He had tried to expose, jj through the House of Commons to the nation, the mode in | which it was wasted. It was in vain to expect any good to jj arise from merely addressing the House of Commons. It was \ in vain to expect to produce any effect upon them. He might convince them, night after night, but without changing a single • vote. The only use of the statements he had made in the House was their effect upon the public, and through them upoti ^ the Ministry, ( cheers.) The House of Commons had fallen j, into tlite state, within the last 30 or 40 years, from the influence s afforded to Ministers by the enormous expenditure ; and there- ? fore the most elfectual and beneficial mode of reforming the I House was to cut o( j'the supplies which created this undue in- I fluence, ( cheers). Still, looking at the House of Commons 5 in its present s; a? o, he did not anticipate any great results.— j He had said he bad no great opinion of the house, and he did | not expect from ii much consideration for the community at I large. We could look lo a tree for only its natural fruit ; we t could not expect to find grapes on thorns, nor roses on thistles, jj ( cheers.) He could not expect much to be done, while the « people continued to send men to parliament who had no proper ? motives for going there, and no habits of application—- cadets f | of noble families, and men of fortune— who sought the station i merely as a point, of honour, ( cheers). The country frequent- ly complained of the house ; but this was quite unreasonable, so long as it sent such men there. In truth, not one- eighth, or one- tenth ever seriously thought about the business ofthe ipuse. This was a great evil. If it could be but put a stop — if the house would but do its duty— try to husband our re- urces— resources great beyond those of any other nation— if ese were but properly regulated and conducted, every one ould enjoy that prosperity^ which in a nation, and under a institution like ours, every one had a right to cxpect. ( cheers..) ut before we could look for this, the House of Commons bust be properly filled, and those w ho had the power of send- tg members to parliament musf be actuated by right motives a their choice ; there must be a reform in the electors, before Here could be a reform in the elected. He had used the ex- ension " the influence of the Crown," but he ought to have laid '* the influence of the Ministry." The influence of the rown was little indeed. Ministers controlled the King bim- lf. They told him he could not do this, and he must not do hat ; and in fact he had no more power in choosing even his n ministers than any one then present'. It was notorious as e sun at noon, that very lately a member of the cabinet had ieen forced upon him in direct contradiction to his own feelings | nd predilections— no matter whether these feelings and pre- elections were right or. wrong. ( Loud cheers.) The patronage the Crown was in'truth the patronage of Ministers ; and by is means they attached to themselves those fife- and- fortune fen who were the bane of this country, ( loud cheers). Mi- ters, in order to support their own influence, exerted thein- llves to keep up this system, which had brought upon the untry a load of debt and taxation which it could not bear.— beers). No individual who looked at the state of the nation, must agree that the system ought to We changed. It was [ dently tending to make the government of this country a itary one. The fondness shewn for a military establishment foreign to the genius of our constitution, by which the ernment was instrinsically civil. But, now every thing was eavoured to be done by the introduction of military on all e occasions when the civil power alone ought to beemploy- ( loud cheering.) The expenses incident to this estabhsh- i. t added much to the influence ofthe ministry, by increas- their patronage. He had, therefore, endeavoured to show ft a great portion of our present troops were unnecessary, ought to be reduced; for it was surely better to conciliate people, and try to increase their comforts, than to keep them n by a large military establishment. He had tried not only • duce the number, but also to lessen the expenses of our | y, ( cheers). If the country would not look to the system Represent ministry, but join in supporting it— if the landed Vest would go on in allowing Ministers to enact laws direct- iostile to freedom and die liberty of the press— if they ild not consider the state in which they were likely to be ed, and would suffer the country to be burdened by keep- up useless places, and paying enormous salaries— they had • ight to complain or expect relief. He would not say that ), 000, OOO yr 20,000,000 was the exact sum which the es- iishments of the country ought to cost. Every shilling which d not he shown to be necessary ought to be saved. — ( cheers ) as unnecessary for him to enlarge any farther on these rent subjects in this company, who were so well acquaint- Fwith them. He claimed no merit; he had only acted an iest aud independent part, without seeking personal ag- ndizement ; and it was this alone which had enabled him rake the position he now occupied in the public eye. ( ioud ers.) If the Whigs— those who possessed an immense . ied interest in the kingdom— greater by far than the op- ite side could boast of, and therefore had so great a stake the country, would but stand forward, aud say to what ex- fit thev would go in reform— no matter how little— if they buld but. say what changes they would make— what reductions liey would agree to ; if they would but pledge themselves to omething, backed as they were by public opinion, they would Wry with them a force, against which no set Of men, much less the present weak aud. vacillating ministry, could maintain heir places for a single day, pursuing a system hostile to the public interest,—( loud and . continued cheering.) He hoped ; to see the day when the Whigs and the landed interest wou'd confederate, an i act an honest part, aud shew the country that they had public ends in » We might then expect to obtain ' an efficient reform, to see the people haji\) y and comfortable, aria our navy, army, and civil establishments reduced to a prop^ ei' scale. But before we could expect to flourish, or the landed interest to obtain rel. ief, there mi^ t ben reforjn in our church establishment, also. Those who do little and receive much must he called to a severe reckoning, it was impossible not to observe the vast difference between the clergy of England and Ireland, and those of Scotland, where no one was paid who did not do duty— where the mini sters promoted morality and religion by their example as well as instruction— and where the minister of eadi parish was the father, of his fl" ck. Some might consider this was a subject not fit to be introduced in a convivial meeting ; but he begged to remind them, that it was politics alone which had Introduced him to their notice, and therefore he might be permitted to allude to this important branch of our establishments, ( cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by thanking the company for the honour done him, and sat down amidst loud and long con- tinued applause. 44 The Navy and Army." Tune— Ri^ e Britannia. 44 Lord Ossulston and Sir Francis Blake, our independent Representatives in Parliament." This toast was drank with three times three. Tune— We bad him aye come back again. Colonel ORD rose to return thanks. On the part of Sir Francis Blake in particular, he was commissioned to express his sincere regret at not having it in his power to join with his neighbours and constituents in showing every mark of respect to Mr. Hume, whose measures he had invariably supported, and who, as he ( Sir F. Blake) declared in his place in the House, 4* had done more gcod to the country than all the Ministers of the Crown had effected ever since they held their situations," ( cheers). He might have added, than any other set of men that have administered the affairs of this nation for half a century pas?, ( cheers.) There -- was one branch of this expenditure— he meant the mode adopted by the Treasury in granting pensions to officers who chose to retire, or were dis- placed by others, which he would recommend, to Mr. Hume's attention. We were told last Session that corruption was ne- cessary to carry on the government of this country. It was openly avowed, and a doctrine which was abhorrent to our ideas of the constitution was promulgated by a servant of the Crown. For his part he was shocked at it— he denied it— the Constitution denied it— non tali auxilio nee dejv. nsoribus is/ is." Mr. HUMF. rose.— Jn consequence of what fell from their worthy Vice- President, Colonel Ord, on the subject which he seemed to think had been neglected, he begged to state that it was one ofthe first to which he ( Mr. Ilume) had turned his attention. In 1 820 he had made three or four motions on that subject, when Mr. Vansittart and Lord Castlereagh both ac- knowledged that there had been great abuse in this department, which had asisen from an Act of the 50: h Geo. III. enabling officers to retire on pensions. At the time the bill passed, the amount of al'owanees to retired officers of the customs was only L. 78Q0 ; but in 1820 they amounted to no less a sum than L. 90,000, ( cries of hear.) This increase had arisen, not be- cause the persons who retired were unfit for service, but because the Ministers wished to provide for others, by putting them in their places. He would just mention a case or too. He would take that of Sir Bellingham Graham, who retired from an office as unfit, with a pension ; he was soon after appointed to another office, and the year after retired ; he was appointed to another, and the year after retired ( a laugh) again ; and in 1818, he actually received retired allowances for four offices, for every one of which in succession he had been declared unfit, ( much laughing). He would also mention a case, respecting which, when he stated it in the house, Mr. Croker denied his accuracy, until he produced the return from which he made his statement under Mr. Croker'sown hand, ( much laughter.) It was that of Mr. Mutton ; he had two pensions, besides L. 600 a- year as Paymaster of Marines, L. 600 a- year as Com- missioner of Stamps, another office of L. 500. and another ( we could not hear the name) of L. 600. He could assure Colonel Osd be had not overlooked the subject, and Government had brought. in ; t bill which would prevent such abuses in future* Several officers who had applied for leave to retire iu the course ofthe last year, had not been allowed, because, saiici the Mi- nistry, 4* if we do, Mr. Hume will be at us," ( langhter and cheering.)

Colonel ORD proposed '' The Duke of Hamilton—' 4 service without servility, respect without meanness," with three times three. Mr. NICHOLAS proposed 44 The health of the Mayor, and thanks to him for his conduct in the chair," with three times three. Mr. MAYOR, returned thanks.. He expressed the pleasure he felt in being head of that corporation which had been the first to appreciate the services of Mr. Hume. He begged to propose The health of the non- freemen aud gentlemen from the country present," with three times three. Mr. GREY of Milfield rose and said— Permit me. Gentle- men, to thank you for the honour you have done to my neigh- bours and myself, by the manner in which jou have drunk the toast proposed by your Chairman ; aud permit me to thank you individually, for allowing me, who am not a freeman of Ber- wick, to be a partaker ofthe enjoyment of this meeting, and to mingle my humble tribute of thanks with yours to the Hon. Gentleman, Mr. Hume, for the signal services he has rendered to his country in Parliament. His truly are services of no ordinary character, and deserve no ordinary share of our giati- tude. I hold it to be no very difficult tank for a member to rise in'his place in Parliament and declaim generally about the pressure of taxation, the extravagance . or impolicy of the measures of the Minis ry, or the corruption of their own hon- ourable house, ( a laugh). But for a man to wade through all ! the. complicated detail of financial operations, detecting errors and suggesting improvements, and to devote with unremitted lahOuf his days and his nights to the work, testifies a persever- ance and patriotism that can originate in no trivial motive, and are deserving'of no light commendation. Mr. GRF. Y, after expatiating on the slavery and sufferings of the Greeks, concluded by proposing— 44 The cause of free- dom and of Greece." Colonel ORI> proposed— 44 The exercise of true British feel- ing and the health of Mr. Grey." Various other patriotic and convivial toasts were drunk. Mr. Hume left the company a little after ten o'clock. The meeting was as highly respectable as any that ever assembled in this town. The whole business was conducted with the greatest spirit, and with uninterrupted harmony* Several gentlemen wlio had taken tickets were prevented from attending. Some persons who wished to be present, were hindered, as we have heard, by threats from the friends of44 things as they are."— Berwick Advertiser. portatioh, and femtn. tej that nothing but the slightest flaw IH the indictment could have made the period so short.

This was the first count ofthe indictment ; and tho second charged the same individual with heading a body of Irishmen, who on the day following again became unruly at the Keltonhill Fair, and assaulted two men of the names of Robert Gumming and Hogh M Lachlan. From the abscnco of a principal witness, no evidence was fed as to the alleged riot at Gatehouse ; the whole charge therefore narrowed itself into the proceedings at Kellonhill. Mr. Dundas, Depute- Advocate, having addressed the jury for the Crown, and M » '. Maitland for the prisoner, the Lord Justice Clerk summed up at great length, after which the J; ir< r retired for a few minutes, and returned a verdict, " Finding1 the meeting Guilty of rioting and mobbing, but the chargo against the prisoner Not Proven." The Judge, in dismissing the prisoner, cautioned him ag. iin it mingling in similar parties, and expressed liis finn deteriniint. tinn to protect the frequentersnt'iinr public markets, and put down such disgraceful tumults hy every means in his power. The finished the criminal business of the Court. On a, U jonming tile Circuit, the Judge thanked the Sheriffs, as usual; '" or their zeal and activity, and congratulated them upon tiie comparative absence of crimes requiring judicial investigation. INVERNESS. Sept. 27.- The Court this day proceeded to the trial of Andrew Itoss, lately prisoner in the jail of Tain, accused of wilful fire raising, in so far as that he had set fire to the heather ie. the immediate vicinity of a large wood on Ad. miral'sfarm, in the parish of Elilertown, and county of Ross, with the felonious and wicked design of burning the said wood. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. His Counsel, Mr. Riddel, objected to the relevancy of th « libel, on the ground that the facts contained in the minor pro- position ofthe indictment did not amount to the crime stated in the major proposition. He urgued that this was a common case of muirburn, cognizable as a lesser offence, by the Justices ofthe Peace, under the statute Geo. 111, cap. 54. The Advocate- Depute contended that the indictment was strictly relevant, and that the olll- nce was of a much more serious character than it was represented to be by the pri- soner's Counsel. Lord Heriiuwd found tbe indictment irrelevant, and dis- missed the prisoner from the bar. This finished the criminal business. • The Sheriff's were then called up, and the usual notice given by the clerk, that if there were any complaints ana inst thorn they would now be heard. Aft^ r a pause, Lord Hertnand ob- served, that he had a coVnplninl himself to make, and that was, that no Sheriff- Depute ofthe seven counties composing this district, had attended the Court. lie had no doubt but their places were well supplied by the Sheriffs- Substitute who attend- ed, still that was not enough. And none of these Deputes bad thought . proper to account for their absence, except his old friend Air. M Leod of Geanies, who was detained by very great f(. rnily affliction. He particularly regretted the ab. etlee of the Sheriff of Inverness, as be had intended to address him respect- ing the state of the Court Romp ; and unless this was i til rue. diately taken into eunsiileration, the Commissioners of Justi- ciary would complain to a high tribunal. The Court was then adjourned. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. CIR C VIT IN TELLIGE NCI'. DUMFRIES, Sept, 25.— The Justiciary Court was open- ed here ibis day by the Right Hon. I. ord Justice Clerk. John Campbell, charged with the crime ol rape, aud lately residing at the Bridge of Dee, w as outlawed for non- appearance. Henry Caven, an Irishman, was then placed at the bar, ac- cused of picking the pocket of Mr. Thomas Herbertson, farmer at Terregles, in the horse maiket here, on the 2d of July last, and carrying oft'a red leather pocket- book, containing a variety of papers, and sixteen one pound notes, of the British I ineu Company. After the iudictuient had been read, the following conversation ensued : Judge— Ilemy Caven, what do yon say— are you guilty or not guilty of the crime charged ? Prisoner— It is a most uncommon thing, my Lord, for a man to plead guilty to what he knows nothing at all about Judge— II is certainly an uncommon thing for un innocent man to plead guiliy. Prisoner— A most shocking thing, my Lord ; I am en- tirely innocent. Judge— Then I would advise you to plead Not Guilty— This hint the prisoner was not slow in taking, and the trial proceeded accordingly. There was one peculiarity in this case, not very common in our Courts of Justice, namely, the prisoner was found Guilty of stealing a pocket book, without being held tu have stolen its contents. In the indictment the sixteen orte pound nots were said to be ofthe British Linen Company ; but when Mr. Herbertson, the owner of the packet- book, came to be examined, he de- poned that, to the best of his- knowledge aud belief, the notes bore the imprint of the Bank of Scotland. This unexpected discrepancy, originating in mistake in some quarter, proved fatal to the major charge of the iudictnivtil, and iessened the prisoner's term of banishment at lea't seven years. A number of witnesses, including the respectable individual robbed, were brought, forward. The evidence appeared so clear to the Crown Counsel, that I he declined recapitulating it— an example which Mr. Hamil- itou. Counsel for Caven, thought it prudent to follow. The Lord Justice Cletk summed up with his usual itnpar- | tialiiv ; and the Jury, after retiring lor a f. . minutes, re- | turned the following verdict : " Kind the prisoner Guilty of | stealing the red leather pocket- book libelled." After being t suitably admonished, he was sentenced to seven years' uaus- FRt). ir EHE\' CH PAPERS. PARIS, Sept. 25— Yesterday tlte King presided ot a Council of Ministers. A royal ' Ordinance, ol' Sejrt. 22d, contains the following regulations : " The sanitary measures prescribed on the frontier of the Pyrenees, in pursuance of our Ordinance of September 27, 1821, with respect to arrivals bv land, shall be discontinued from, the Ist of October next. The troops eniplyed ill the Sa- nitary Cordon shall maintain their present positions as a corps of observation." The MiiOrid Journals of the 18th, received vesterday by an extraordinary conveyance, publish a declaration of outlawry against the Marquis of . Matuflorida, Baron d'Eroles, d'Eguia, Quesadu, and the Trappist ; and also a proclamation by Miua, offering an amnesty to all Kovalists. who shall lav down their arms. A report is in circulation in Paris that Miua has beea defeated. Sept. 27 The Duke of Wellington has passed through Metz. His Grace travels slowly on account of his health. The departure for Verona will be post- r poned. Accounts from Constantinople snv, the Porte has received news ' from the frontiers, of Persia, that the Ot- toman twips have been defeated, and have lost two Pachas,, wna are made prisoners. Sept. 23.-— The Hoy a I Ordinance, which change? the Cordon Sanitaire into an Army of Observation, has given occasion to. many conjectures. This nietisure- will put a stop to the shackles which were imposed on the freedom of the commercial relations between l-' rance ami Spain, and under this point of view, it is of great ad- vantage for both countries. There is no symptom of hostility to be traced iu this measure. Some Journals, however, are determined to carry war into the heart of Spain, and thev are indignant tlv. it the French Government has not in this respect been the first to begin. This pacific conduct is the subject of bitter reproaches add injurious insinuations : and, in : order that no singularity may be wanted on the present occasion, we undertake oil this point the defence of the depositories of power. The report is confirmed that Mina has been defeated at Braga, near Mequinenza. By accounts from Constantinople, it appears that the affairs of the. Greeks will immediatrlv come under the consideration of the Congress. Lord Strangfori and Baron Lutzow will attend at the Conferences. Oc t'. 1.— Among the great persons who are to rro to the Congress, Maria Louisa, Duchess of Parma, is men- tioned in the German Papers. The Journal ties Debuts has the following Note ott a paragraph ofthe Courier:— " This article is in a tone to excite some surprise in Europe ; but the special fact, of which the Courier avails itself to make this saHy, is not exactly as it repre- sents it. The Enipsror of Russia having successively employed several statesmen in the negociations at Con- stantinople and Vienna, as well as in the affairs of Italy, these Diplomatists appear to have been called to Vienna and other places of Italy to give information. The Russian Envoys at the Congress, in the proper accep- tation ofthe ward, do not appear more numerous than those of France." The Journal ties Debuts a yes the following news from tb2 frontiers of Spain :— " L'Echo ( hi Midi has published the following letter,' which shows what was the issue of the movement of the army of . Milla on Seo- d'Urgel: — Urgel, Sept. 20, 1822, half- past eight. T. M.

It is stated, however, that, bv the Roval clemency, twenty- eight out of the thirty had their sentence commuted into imprisonment and hard la- bour for 30 years. Two were ordered to be executed, Silvati and Morilli, and the sentence was carried into ef- fect on the llt'n ult, the latter having refused the aids of religion, was buried in unconsecrattd ground. o ' " S P A I N. MADRID, Sept. 18.— Bv order of the King, various changes have taken placc in the command of some of the army corps. THE KING TO THE SPANISH NATION. SPANIARDS!— Since the moment after having become ac- quainted with your wishes, I swore fidelity to the Constitu- tion promulgated at Cadiz on the 19th of March 1820, my mind could only rejoice in the happy prospect of your future felicity. A reciprocal and painful experience of absolute go- vernment, in which every thing is done in the name of the Monarch, without his real will ( having, in fact, the least share therein), induced us to adopt with pleasure the fundamental law, which, in pointing out the rights and duties of those who command and those who obey, obviates the deviations of all, and gives more ease and freedom to the reins of the State, in order that it may be conducted by the most direct and most glorious path of justice and prosperity. Who. then, impedes our course ? Who has now the design to precipitate us into the opposite route ? I must announce this to you, Spaniards— J, who have experienced so much chagrin on the part of those vho wish to drive us back to a system which never shall re- turn, and which I cannot support in silence, since it would tactifice you. 1' laccd at the head of a magnanimous and enerous nation, the happiness of w hich is the object of all my i* T — thb- / tixwwfnnifir tA afl'irocc 111 ti solicitude, I seize this favourable opportunity to address in a voice of peace and confidence which may, al the same time, convey salutary advice to the machinators. May they profit l; v it to avoid the effects of a struggle. In vain do they pretend lo exculpate themselves by errois of opinion ; if indulgence be applicable to them, chastisement is not the less due to real crimes. The period ol' error respecting the form of the go- vernment is passed, since the Spanish people have declared themselves in favour of tit" present institutions! Those who aspire to rise without merit, and to command without virtue end responsibility, therefore, thought it necessary to dissemble iheir vexation : hut it was not the less real. Concealing all their humiliation, their chagrin changed to hatred and fury against the restorers and the friends of the constitutional system. Such, Spaniards, is the cause of the agitations which fatigue you. The artifices tortuously employed, the violent seditions, the many inquietudes which good citizens have to endure, are al) evils springing from the impatience of those w ho are accustomed to listen to no other voice than that of their ow n caprice— to yield lo no salutary constraint of the law, and never to sacrifice their guilty desires on the altar ofthe country. In vain do they invoke the name of a King, who bears them only with the most lively sentiments of indignation — in vain do they pretend to defend the prerogatives of him, who is ambitious of no other title than that of being the con- stitutional monarch ofthe Spains. The scenes which the contests between the sons of the country and their criminal adversaries produce are too public not to demand my attention— too horrible for me not to de- nounce them to the acts of the law, and not to excite against them the indignation of all those who are proud of the name of Spaniards. You are witnesses of the disgraceful excesses which have heen committed, and are still committed by that Lbcrticidal faction. It is needless to lay before. you the pic- tore which Navarre, Catalonia, and oilier provinces of this line country present. Robberies, murders, arson, and brother armed against brother, and father against son, have repeatedly excited your indignant courage, and caused your generous tears to flow. Embrace in idea all the evils to which fanati- ci- m gives birth, and supply from your indignation all the ex- pressions which I want, to make you comprehend mine. Valour and constancy will forever beat down that degraded rare of unworthy children of the country. Their projects are criminal, their hopes in « ane. If they are obstinate, you are iiivincible; if they yield to the cry of sordid interest— liberty cud honour, w hich are inseparable virtues, animate and guide you ; but seduction will be of short duration, and the low arti- fices which they employ will soon yield to the lights of our age. The misled men will listen to the voice of the Constitutional King ofthe Spains. Listen not. to the voire of perfidious mm. who misrepresent a law. w hich can only be accused of imperfections inseparable from all human labours. The Con- stitution proclaims, in the most solemn manner, the worship of your fathers, and they would substitute for your piety the trost abominable fanaticism. By the Constitution, you are free and happy j with ihem you would sink ag » in into desola- tion and misery. Behold the blood which the fury of those banditti caused to flow ; contemplate your dwellings, which v ere formerly asylum* of . peace. now become theatres of fra- tricidal war. Fix your eyes on that throne of derision and ignominy created by imposture at Urge!. Finally, look at the precipice from which it is wished to hurl you. Enlighten- ed Europe sees with horror so many excesses and so many crimes. Humanity demands vengeance for the iosults to which she is exposed— the law for injuries suffered— the epuntiy for her outraged honour— and 1— shall I continue silent?— shall I tranquilly behold the evils of the magnani- mous nation of which I am the Chief?— shall I, in disgrace- ful silence, suffer my name to be profaned by perjured wretches, who make it the buckler of their crimes? No, Spaniards! my voice denounces them at the severe tribunal of the law. I devote them to your indignation, and to the execration of the universe. May this voice be the rainbow which announces peace— the voice of confidence applying its salutary balm to the ills of the country. Valiant Soldiers ! — Redouble your efforts to display every where your victorious banners. Civil chiefs, executors of the law, labour tiny and night to engrave in the hearts of the people the love of liberty ; let its principal supports be your example, and the benefits bestowed by the Constitufion. Mi- nisters of Religion ! you who announce the word ofthe living God, and preach his morality and his charity, tear off the BtSsk with which ihe perjured cover themselves. Declare that the faith of Christ is not to be defended by crimes, and that it rejects from the number of its ministers those who employ fratricidal arms— annihilate these criminals— from the altar destroy them wilh those thunderbolts which the church has placed in your hands; be good priests, as well as good citizens. And you, public writers, you who direct public opinion, the queen of nations— you who frequently compensate for the insufficiency of law and the errors of governments, employ vottr arms in the national cause with more ardour than ever; unmask the enemies of freedom ; infuse the love of liberty into the hearts of all Spaniards; speak to their reason ; gra- dually- dissipate the darkness of their understanding; heal the wounds of the country, and take care not to make them bleed anew; inculate union, which is the basts of power ; fan the the noble passions, which lead to good, and not those which wither up the soul and produce such fatal errors. We have much to do, Spaniards, to cure our dear country of all lite wounds she has received. Several of them still con- tinue open ; but amidst so great a confusion and so many Contradictions, it would be unjust not to perceive the progress we have made. The Cortes have already reformed serious abuses though many still remain. The wisdom of their de- liberations has given the sanction of experience to reason, re- covered by the lights of the age, and the advantages of a re- presentative Government. None can better know the wants of the people— none c^ n « xhil. it them with better zeal and interest, than the Deputies charged with collecting the wishes of the nation. I expect fioin them fall that can be expected from them. I rely on you — oil your intimate and sincere union— on the native co- opera- tion of the Folitical Chiefs, and other economical and popu- lar authorities— on tlie firmness ofthe standing arniv and the national militia, to complete the great work of your political regeneration, und to raise you to that degree of elevation for which vutuous nations, which have for liberty the esteem it deserves, ate destined. My power, my authority, my ef- fcit « , w ill always be directed towards this object. Palace, Sept. 16. FERDINAND. The King has ordered that Lieut.- General Baron D'F. roles and Rrigadicr Don Philip Heires, who have abandoned the national colours, declared themselves ene- mies of the political constitution ofthe monarchy, and laboured in concert to destroy it, shall he dismissed from die army, and deprived of all their employments, honours, and distinctions. The Camp- Marshal Don Vincent Qucsada will also be included under the same resolution, as lie is similarly situated to the preceding officers. Tiie same principle will apply to Lieut.- General Don Carlos O'Donmd, in consequence of his having proceeded to France without his Majesty's permission. The Neapolitan General, VY illiaia Pepe, arrived at Madrid on the 16th in the evening, and was well receiv- ed bv tlw Patriots. There are many conjectures respect- ing 1i'LS return, which is said to be occasioned by the - change ia our Ministry. FROM GEKMAX PATERS. - BRUSSELS, Sept. 2S.— Private letters f- om Spain Say that that kingdom assumes a formidable ihilitary at- titude, and that a very great military force will soon be at the disposal of the Government. The idea of a fo- reign invasion has had an evident influence oil the minds ofthe people, and mauv Spaniards who are not devot- ed to the prevailing party express their firm resolution to resist all foreign interference in their affairs. ZANTE, Aug, 214-— Some days ago We heard on our coast at six in the morning a most terrible cannonade, which seemed to come from Navarino ; it continu- ed some hours, decreased bv degrees, and entirely ceased at noon. A fishing boat from Navarino has just this moment come in, from which we learn that not far from that place, and close to the Gulf of San- chio, there had been a severe engagement between the Turkish and Greek fleets greatly to the disadvantage of the latter. The fisherman said he had encountered seve- ral flying ships between Navarino and Arcadia, from which he escaped vvit. ll great difficulty as they perused him for some hours. We arc very impatient to learu the particulars of this engagement. VIENNA, Sept. 24— The opening of the new Con- gress has been really delayed by the death of the Mar- quis of Londonderry. It was said at first that our Em- peror and the Emperor of Russia, and all the Ministers who were to attend the Congress, would leave Vienna in the middle ofSeptemler ; but their departure seems to be deferred till the end of the month. There have indeed some preliminary conferences, and Mr. Gordon, and afterwards Lord Stewart, had full powers for this purpose from the Court of St. James's; but the conferences for the express purpose of preparing the subjects to be discussed in Congress will not take placc till the Ministers of all the five Powers are assembled here. It is said that, as soon as the death of the Marquis of Londonderry was known here, our Cabinet signified to theCourtof London, awish that the late Marquis might be replaced by the Duke of Wellington; mid it was therefore reported herefrom the first, that the Duke would come, as we know to be the case ; but his Grace will first go to Paris, because he has to confer on some important points with the j Court of the Thuilleries before he goes to the Congress, j It is supposed the Sovereigns will set out at the end of j September for Venice, where grand fetes are said to be ! prepared for their reception. From Venice they go to ; Verona, where it is rumoured that the three Sovereigns, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, will reside together in one great Palace, as they did in the Imperial Palace here at the time of the first Vienna Congress. The intelligence respecting Greece is still as contra- dictory as ever. One account represents the Turks as victorious ill every direction, and the Greeks at the very last extremity, while another represents the Turks to have failed completely in their object, and to be retreat- ing before their successful opponents. Should it turn out that the Turks have really been successful to the ex- tent stated in the Austrian Observ- er, and some of the letters from the Ionian Islands, there is nothing iu this certainly to excite our surprise. The v. • Jer is, that under al! the disadvantages of their situation— under the discouragement too which the faithlessness of a certain Great Power was but too well calculated to produce, they have hitherto been so often successful against their opponents. DREADFUL EARTHQUAKE AT ALEPPO. We have- received the calamitous news of an earth- quake in Aleppo. A letter from Constantinople, dated September 3, describes this event in the following man- ner:— Aleppo, one ofthe most beautiful cities ofthe Ottoman Empire, has been visited by an earthquake, re- sembling those which laid waste Lisbon and Calabria in the last century. The first and most severe shock oc- curred on the 13th of August, about ten in the evening, and instantly buried thousands of the inhabitants under the ruins of their elegant mansions of stone, some of which deserve the name of palaces. Several other shocks succeeded, and even on the 16th shocks were still expe- rienced, some of which were severe. Two- thirds ofthe houses of this populous* city are ruins, and along with them au immense quantity of valuable goods of all kinds from Persia and India have been destroyed. According to the first accounts of this event, which through alarm may have been exaggerated, the number of the sufferers amount to from 25 to 30,000. Among them is one of the best men in the city, the Imperial Constil- General, the Chevalier Esdras Von Piecotto.—- Having escaped the danger of being buried under the ruins of his own house, he hastened with some of his family towards the gate of the city : but as he was passing a Khan, a new shock occurred, and a wall j fell down, which buried him and those with him Tartars who have arrived from Damascus report, that thev saw the whole population of Aleppo en- c « iped in the environs. They state that several other towns in the Pachalat of Aleppo and Tripoli, particu- larly Antioeh and Laodicea, have been destroyed by this earthquake. The Captain of a French ship also lias reported, that two rocks at the time of the earth- quake, had arisen from the sea in the neighbourhood of Cyprus, which is almost under the same latitude as Aleppo. As soon as the Arabs and the Bedoums of the Syrian desert obtained information ofthe calamity which had be- fallen Aleppo, they hastened in hordes to exercise their trade of plunder in that immense grave. Behram Pacha, however, drove them back, and also executed several Janissaries, who had committed depredations among the dead bodies and ruins. The great number of tuiburied bodies in this extreme- ly hot period of the year, has produced pestiential efflu- via, and obliged the unfortunate inhabitants to seek for refuse in some remote district. no vessel ( craft acccptcd) frotrfj any port or place, par- ticularly from New Ytirlc, shall $> e permitted to come into any dock, to unload north of Camden- street, until the 15th October, without first being examined by a Com- missioner of Health. COLOMBIAN REPUBLIC The Baltimore Paper contains a letter dated Caraccas, August 1, said to be from an official source. The accounts received of the sickijess of the garrison of Porto Cabello is not noticed, bv which it is inferred the report was incorrect. It was the intention of Gen. Pat- z to retire to Valencia during the rainy season, and to leave nothing but a corps of ob- servation before Porto Cabello. LA ( iuAYRA, July 31.— We have had the pleasure of seeing arrive here within the last few daVs, the first shin di rcet from the port of London that has vet entered any of the ports of C'Jombia, the Leda, Captain Jones, laden with a cargo of British manufactures, consigned to the house of Jones, Powles, and Co. terms of the people ,, f Cornwall, who are. with remark- able unanimity, zealous advocates- for Reform. O. u Sunday evening, Dr. Chttfthsrs. preached an elo- quent. discourse from Ist Corinthians iv.' 20, " For the kingdom, of God is not in word, but in power," at the Wqslevan- Chanel, City Road. The chape! tarSs- crowd- ed to excess; every aisle and staircase, even to'; the door, were completely filled. He also preached at the Cale- donian Chapel, Crown Street, Hatton Garden.- Tiie street was thro. iged long before the Chapel doors were opened, and many attempts were made to get in at the windows. Notwithstanding so great a rush, the moment service began every thing was perfectly quiet. The Rev. Dr. left town on Monday. During his short stay he preached four sermons, which were attended by over- flowing, congregations. . The long talked of Mermaid has arrived in London. Immediately on being passed at the Custom- house, it is Ouran Outano. MARKETS, Sfc. ...

I hope this ship is the forerunner of a good and wholesome trade between England and Colombia. There is no fear of the tide, if managed with discretion, and if people will keep in mind that a country Suffering what this has done, cannot vet be in a condition to make large purchases from other countries. To send here more than the people can pay for is doing no good. As far as I can hear ofthe Leda's cargo, it seems of a moderate size, and assorted with judgment. Advices have been i^ ceived from the United States, that Colonel Todd was about to proceed here as Minister from that Government to the Government of Colombia, in the John Ad ims frigate. Conceive the advantages that all this i3 calculated to give the Americans over the English in their intercourse with this country ! It is galling to the English here to see it, I assure you. We have just had published here, too, a translation of M. Zea's Note, issued from Paris to the European Govern- ments, demanding the acknowledgement ofthe recogni- tion of Colombia. You m- iv suppose how anxious we all are to hear what our Government will do upon it, particulary as it threatens exclusion to - intercourse with countries which refuse the acknowledgment. Depend on it the Government here will act up to Zea's note Their feeling is that they want no favours— thev only ask for common civility. As an Englishman myself, I would scorn to yield any thing to a threat, and I should be ashamed of any English Ministry that would do it — but if we are on the wrong side the post— if we are withholding that which in former davs, and under cir- cumstances sufficiently similar, Great Britain herself de- manded and received from oth irflations, itis only a matter of integrity to abandon such a course of proceeding— and it is but common prudence to see that a perseverance in it may produce mischief. Trade is regular and steady here, but produce scarce, and will bo so for some months to come. The following are present prices :— Cotton, 21 J to 22 dollars per quintal, first quality— scarce.

AMERICA, < Jc. New York Papers have been received to the 25th August. The paper ofthe 22d contains an account of the fire at New York, which is far from being of the magnitude reported. NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—" About eight o'clock last evening a fire broke out at the great depot of naval stores, opposite the coffee- house slip on Long Island.. In a few minutes several stores and sheds, filled with naval stores, & c. were in a vivid blaze. ' I he illumination was sub- limely grand, and on the citv side attracted an assem- blage of thousands of spectators, who filled our wharfs and stores en the river side, and hundreds were seen on the hills in thereat ofthe flames. The wind was very light, from the S. S. W. and the flames received but little aid which was not derived from the combustibility of several thousand barrels of naval stores, which, like the lava of Mount Vesuvius, spread a most interesting sheet of fire over an extensive wharf to the river, arid present- ing a most splendid blaze to the surface ofthe water ; the stores were principally owned by Mr. Henry War- ning, and were rented by Captains Y\ hite and Money, who had on stoieage the property of numerous indivi- duals. Since the above was in tvpe we learn the property de- stroyed includes Armstrong's porter house and storevard, Messrs. Vandever's porter house, J. Tattle's dwelling- house aijd the stoies. It is supposed that the buildmgs contained 1,400 bales of cotton, and 12 000 barrels of naval stores may be estimated at about 24,000 dollars and the cotton at about 56,000 dollars, making a loss, including the buildings, of about 100,000 dollars.— The brick store of Messrs. Warding and Kimberly, full of cotton, is the only building which was not laid in ashes. It is not known how the fire originated, rhut is presuineAto be rfie wmk of an incendiary. The Board of Health at Baltimore has resolved that LONDON, Oct. 5. THE KING.— Thursday afternoon, at five, his Ma- jesty left Carlton Palace in his travelling carriage and four horses. He was preceded by two outriders, and followed bv one servant on horseback, and two in the dickev. The carriage left the Palace bv the Park en- trance, and travelled through St, James's Park so unos- tentatiously, that the workmen in front of Buckingham- house were not aware which branch ofthe Royal Family It was that passed. It was generally stated by them that it was the Duke of Cambridge. At the top of Constitu- tion Hill and Hyde Park- corner, however, his Majesty was recognised, and the King was greeted by the per- sons around taking off their hats as the carriage passed. The King went through Hyde Park, thence passed along Kensington, where again his Majesty was partially re- cognised, and the passengers thereupon made their obei- sances to their Monarch. The King was dressed in a dark- coloured coat, buttoned up close, according to the customary mode of the Roval Family, and he had on a black handkerchief. Ilis Majesty looked uncommonly well, and appeared to be in excellent spirits. He very graciously bowed when recognised at various points of j 4s. to 4s. 9d. his journey by portions of his people. Both the carriage 1 stone, jinking . windows were down. The King was accompanied by • two gentlemen, one of them, a voting gentleman, wear- . ing mustachios. The King passed through Brent- I ford and proceeded to the Royal Cottage, at Windsor, where his Majesty purposes to make a short stay. The interview between his Majesty and Mr. Canning, when the latter kisst 1 hands on his appointment, may exercise the pen of some future Grauimont or W. alpole. The scene must, no doubt, have been preceded by much painful preparation, before the feelings of chagrin on the one side could settle into mollified resignation, and appre- hension on the other could be overcome by the elation of success. The exalted Personage who thus offered up his feelings on the altar of resignation, is understood to have afterwards expressed himself in peculiarly forcible language respecting the nature of the sensations which the approach ofthe new Minister excited in him. We have heard that his Majesty, after stating to Mr. Canning the considerations which had weighed with him on this occasion— riamelv, the persuasion of his colleagues that he was necessary to the very existence of the Ministry, concluded with expressing a wish that he might tread as closely as he could in the footsteps of his predecessor W ith Mr. Canning's known opinions of that predecessor, whom he was entitled to look down on as his inferior, both in natural talents and useful and ornamental acquire- ments— a recommandation of this nature could not, of course, be over and above palatable to him. An article from Vienna ( says The Courier of last night) gives a List ofthe Foreign Ministers already as- sembled there. At present Russia is the most formida- ble, as far as relates to the number of her diplomatic agents. Is this display of numerical superiority, intend- ed to mark any assumption of political pre- eminence on the pArt of this power ? The Emperor Alexander might indeed be pardoned rucli a burst of vanity, when itis considered how his Ailies, hy moving at his nod, permit him to fancy he is the Autocrat of Europe, as well as of Russia." This paragraph gave us more pleasure than we can well describe. We could hardly indeed believe our own eyes when we first beheld it. A slap at the magnanimous Alexander and the Holy Alliance in the semi- official paper ofthe English Government! This certainly is of good omen for the approaching Congress. We hail it as indicative of a return to something like British policy. His allies moving at his nod ! What there is jealousy then, is there ? Has The Courier found out the reason This day there were 350 bolls of Oatmeal in Edinburgh Market— Retail price per peck of best oatmeal. Is. Id. GLASGOW CATTLE M A RKET.— There were about 500 head of fat cattle in Glasgow market on Monday, which was the largest supply ever brought forward at one time.— From the unusually large supply prices were lower than last day. Some inferior beef sold as low as 5s. 6d. but the best stots brought about 7s- per stone. A good number remained unsold. There were upwards of 8000 sheep and lambs, their prices were also on the decline. White faced sheep sold from 23s. so 27s. a head ; black faced ewes brought from 8'. to 15s. ; and black faced wedders from 9s. to 18s. 6d. each.— Lambs according to their quality, sold from 2s. 6d. to 7s. a head. A lot of 120 four years old black faced wedders attract- ed a good deal of attention, on account of their excellent qua- lity. Their history is somewhat singular. Three years ago. when they were hogs, or one year olds, they were purchased at the Linton market for 18s. 6d. a head. The proprietor brought them home, and has since grazed them on the best pastures on the Ochi! hills. Upon an average, they would weigh at least eleven pounds a quarter. The lot went off again at 18s. 6d. a head, consequently, besides getting noth- ing for his labour, the proprietor has lost his three years keep- ing. MORPETH, Oct. 2. — At our market this day there was a very great show of Cattle, which met with dull sale, and a reduction in price. There was a full market of Sheep and Lambs ; prices continue much the same as last week. Beef, Mutton, 4s, to 5s. Lamb, 4s. to 5s. per offals. At Dumfries Rood Fair, on Wednesday week, a great num. her of black cattle were exposed to sale, all of which were disposed of; but prices nothing improved. The show of horses was large, though there were few of good quality ; ail the best were sold on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morn- ing, to go to the west country, about Kilmarnock ; there were also buyers from Edinburgh, Glasgow, and England, who were disappointed in finding a small proportion of good horses either for saddle or harness ; the best kinds sold readily at good prices, tile inferior sorts very low.

DISTRESSING Sriipwitp. c'K On Wednesday night the 25th ult. the Selina, of Barmouth, bound from New. port to Liverpool, an'd laden with bar and sheet iroiij and tin, was driven oil the Arklow Bank, where she soon became a complete wreck. Part of the crew got into the long boat, arid the remainder into the jolly boat. Those in the latter ( the mate and two boys) were saved; but with painful feelings we have to state, that those in the long boat, consisting ofthe Captain, his wife, anj three Sailors, unfortunately perished. The vessel is under' water. Her stern and sides were driven in ; but her tnasts, we believe, are still standing. There is at this moment an American 71 gun ship, the Franklin, on the coast of Chili, in the Pacific Ocean, looking after the interests of the American mer- chants in Chili and Peru. Of this ship an intelligent friend of ours at Valparaiso writes thus:—" The Frank- lin is commanded by Commodore Stewart, who has his wife with him, a handsome Well- educated accomplished woman ; she plays oil the harp, and speaks the French, Spanish, and Italian languages, both fluently and cor- rectly. The ship is in high order, has 700 men oti board, who have a library fur their use, consisting of about a thousand volumes. The Captain has seven hund- red volumes in his cabin, which is exquisitely fitted up and beautifully furnished." Here, then, we see sailors, who are freemen, submitting to the strictest discipline— here we see what was never before seen or heard of, and what will never be seen or heard of except on board a ship, manned by freemen— a library of books for tha men, an arrangement in many respects utterly incom- patible with a crew composed of pressed men, or men who have entered from fear ofthe pressgang— men who have had no hand in settling the terms on which they shall serve, and whose term of service depends wholly on the will and pleasure of those who compel them to serve.— British Luminary. o perC.'

The county of Cork is in almost as desperate a stat9 as it was at any time during the last winter and springs It is a ' ainst tithe corn the present insurrection ia directed. The wickedness and extreme folly oftheineeiujiar. es cannot be better expressed than in the following resolu- tions of the Magistrates, assembled at Mallow, on the 28th ultimo :— 4t We have observed with extreme regret and disappointment that the spirit of disturbance, which we hoped had been ex- tinguished, still continues to exist among the peasantry anil to manifest itself in acts of outrage aud mischief, in various parts of ibis county. " That scarcely a night passes in which some malicious de- struction of property, by fire, does Hot take place. " That the property so destroyed is, in general Corn or hay, set apart for lithe, or belonging to persons who have made an agreement with the tithe proctor. " That the wickedness of these acts can be equalled only by their folly— because the law w ill give compensation to the in- dividuals against whom the attack is directed, and the loss will fail upon the parish or barony to which tiie incendaries, for their own sakes. can intend no injury. " That we pledge ourselves ti inquire minutely into thrf particulars of each occurrence of this kind which has happened, or may happen i; i our respective neighbourhoods, and to givii every assistance in our power to those persons who may hav^ to seek compensation for such losses, provided their conduct upon the occasion shall appear to have been fair and manly j but those persons whose behaviour has been such as to give en- couragement to this system of outrage, rather than to suppress it, and those in particular who have put llieir tithes out of their haggards after being ouce brought in, can expect no aid or sympathy from us." These, and some other resolutions to the same effect, are signed by Lords Doncraileand Ennismorc, and nine other Magistrates, assembled at Special Sessions under the insurrection act. We hope and trust, that they will be attended with success. CORK, Sept. 30.— ; t is with feelings of horror an J indignation that we announce the most daring instaocu of burglary and murder, which has been perpetrated iu the suburbs of this city for a length of time, and one which has spread terror and alarm among the inhabitants of a peaceable and populous district. Yesterday morn- ing, at one o'clock, an armed banditti entered tiw » house of the Rev. J. 1J. Crcagh, H\ depart, in the north1 sub- urbs of this city ; asid having made a noise which awoke the butler ( a man of excellent character, of the name of M'Cormacfc,-) he got up, and went out, when, melan- choly to relate, they shot him t'irough the neck, and he expired in a few minutes.— Immediately on hearing oi the outrage, tha Mayor and Sheriffs, accompanied by- Henry Hardy, Esq. one of the city Coronets, with a number of Gentlemen, and tbe High Constables, re- paired to the residence of Mr. Creagh, to hold an inquest on the body. The inquest was sitting for five hours, and the greatest solicitude was evinced by the worthy Coroner and the Jury to ascertain the most minute par- ticulars. Verdict.—- WiJjid murder against some penon or persons uul nuivn. Similar accounts appear in the Kilkenny and Linurkk papers. EDINBURGH, Oct.

Thev succeeded in towing'it to the beach, near Ditiiure harbour, where thev cut as much blobcr froiH . it as will, yield upwards of IOu gallons of oil. We are informed that a fish of the same species, but of a larger size, was observed to rise several times in Avr bay ou Saturday l* t, • A lettef fro in Invcrarv, dated the 30th ult. states, " There was a pretty good fishing m this Loch during all last week. 1' wo large whales were seen playing up and down the Loch veSterdav morning, which is consi- dered a good omen of there being plenty of herrings. The crop here is very abundant, it is all in good condition.'' Oil Tuesday evening, Mr- Monctfr, ltcctor of ihe Gram- mar ' School, lYith. wentto bed, anjiarently in good health; hot next morning he was found a lifeless corjise. Mr. Motictir was eminent bath asa scholar and. teacher ; unostentatious and engaging in his manners, his death will be felt as a serious loss. One evening last week, as a woman and her infant child were seated on ihe top of ihe foremost of four carts on the road from Montrose to Dundee, the mother insensibly fell asleep ; and during her imprudent slumber. the child fell from her arms. Owing to the darkness of the night, and ihe noise ofthe loaded carts, the t * i.' rs neither saw the child fall, nor heard. its cres ; and they had even . proceeded two miles farther oil befort; the mother awoke, and found the child gone. Her sensations at this moment will easily be conceived. Instant search was im- mediately made; when the child was found at ihe above dis- tance behind, apparently not much hurt I the skirts of its clothes were in the c rt track. • A - melancholy accident occurred the other day on the road het'veen Campbeltown and Nairn. John Simpson, servant to Mr. Arthur Cant, . Nairn, was killed ou his way home with the horse and cart, after having delivered a load of flour at Camp- beltown ; his body was found on the road shockingly mangled. ARBROATH.

Union, Street, Oct. 6, 1822, • w ABERDEEN: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1822. Summary of i^ oltitrs. THE mission of Sir WII. T. IAM A'COURT to Spain, , as Minister Plenipotentiary from the British Court, at j the present critical juncture, has given rise to many j conjectures. It is well known, that the new Spanish j constitution has not hitherto been regarded with much ( favour at the Cot. rt of St. James's, and upon a late oc- | casion, when the foreign Ambassadors were invited to t an entertainment at Court, an exception was made in ; the case of the Spanish Ambassador, who was not in- vited. IIow then, it is said, can it lie accounted for, ( that we send a Plenipotentiary to the Court of Madrid, when the allies are about to hold their conclave, for the > express purpose of discussing the necessity of foreign j interference in the affairs of Spain, and the French Am- | bassador has been withdrawn on account of the restraint , put upon the person of King FERDINAND ? Accord- ! in- oto common report, our Government is, not disposed ; to concur in the views of the Holy Alliance, So far as to I sanction the attempt to force a government upon Spain, j in direct opposition to the declared will of the people— It is said also, that tlje French ministry, utterly astound- j ed at the unlookedfor indication of our wish to keep tip ; friendly relations with the Patriots, demanded explana- tions, " and received for answer, that Sir W. A'COUHT is sent to Madrid in orderto quiet the fears of the Spanish people, respecting a foreign attack upon their independ- ence, and by that means prevent any measure which miVht compromise the personal safety of FERDINAND. In the mean time, the French army on the frontiers of Spain is no longer designed the Cordon tic Sante, but the Army of Observation ; and the ultra royalist writers now sav, that it is of much more consequence to watch the progress of Jacobinical principles, than the ravages of the vellow fever. The following extract from a Let- ter to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle, date Sept. 26, will not prove uninteresting. I could, if I chose it, tell you a good story of the indigna- tion excited in the bosom of the Duchess d'A. by O'Meara's book, of her kicking it round the room to the great, astonish- ment and delight of her ladies ; of her abuse of the Prince Regent ( as she always calls your King), for suffering its pub- lication, & c. & e. ; but I prefer giving you an account of a Utile Ministerial intrigue, which will give you and your readers a fair notion of the management of affairs with us. The two rival Ministers, Peyronnet and Villele, have had. ever sirtce their entering into power, continual struggles for supremacy. As to Corbiere, he is a poor creature. The rivals differ on all occasions ; on the executions even they had high words in the Council, Villele insisting that they should not take place—* he other swearing that the men should he sacrificed, and he carried his point. The projected war with Spain was a matter of more importance. Villele is strenuous in opposing this insane cru- sade, and the King behig of his opinion, he gained in conse- quence his appointment of President of the Council. But even this material siep was the effect of an intrigue, and the agent a woman. You have heard of Madam de Cavla. the King's favourite. In one of their interviews the King remaik- ed that under the present aspect of things be could not venture to attack Spain, particularly with an army infected with Cnr- bonarism, and that it was necessary he should give some pub- lic proof of his determination, not 10 commence the war.— " Nothing easier," replied the Lady. it is only to nominate M. Villele, President of the Council." " What," said the King. " give as successor to a Duke of Richelieu, a Monsieur Villele " But Mons. de Villele,"- answered the Countess, js a / ton oentithnmmeUpon this a grave discussion ensued upon M. Viilele's birth and claims to gentility ; and, as might be expected, his nomination ^ ias decided on. This warmth of Madame de Cayia in the cau-, e of the avowed rival of het friend Peyronriet, appeared extraordinary to those who did not know the good reasons she had for it, Tbe fact is, that the King, in his hours of dalliance'with this lady, amuses him- self with throwing little paper pellets into her neck ( which it may be said en jieissnnt is a very fine one, considering her age) Now these little flying billets- doux turn ovt to be simply Bank bills of 1000 francs each. Some ultra extraordinary demands having lately been made upon tiie King's purse, these tempt- ing missives were not of such frequent flight as one ofthe par- ties could have wished, in consequence of which she mention- ed the circumstance to the most proper person, M. Villele, the Minister of Finance I His gallantry was touched, and to re- new the tender correspondence with fitting effect, he gave to his Majesty, each time that lie met him to tramiller seul, a little packet often bills of the usual amount. The mornings after these meetings, the lady was sure to arrive by pure acci- dent from her country house, and the Minister of Finance be- came President of the Council I Tbe other Ministers have protested, with the most ludicrous indignation, against those private donation, of the Minister of Finance as being uncons- titutional. • •••.• • Upon the whole, it appears, that we are to have no PlenipotentiaiV from Great Britain at the Congress of Verona. The Duke of WELLINGTON is said to be merely the - bearer of certain communications from our Government, and is to return as soon as these are de- livered. The Marqnis of LONDONDERRY will be at Yeroua, but merely as British Ambassador attending the Court of Vienna, for the time moved to that place. . If it really prove true, that our Government has aband- oned the principles of the Holy Alliance, and refuses to co- operate against the Independence of States disposed to maintain their Liberties, the change of policy must prove highly popular, from whatever motive it may have originated. At present we are in suspence, but can- not help thinking it probable that, on the part of our Government, a sounder policy shall soon be adopted. In Portugal, a spirit of patriotism lias appeared ani- mating both Prince and People, that but a few years ago would have appeared incredible. The King of Portugal appears to be convinced of the necessity of Reform; and although we have, too frequently witnessed the insincerity of Kings upon such subjects, we are really disposed to believe his professions! The Cortes tell him " it was absolutely necessary to alter in some measure our antient institutions, as long experience had proved, that however simple and well combined at their commencement, thev were now no longer suited to the wants and wishes of the people, or conformable to the knowledge of the age, and the unfortunate circumstances in which the country is placed."— His Majesty answers, " Gentlemen I I receive your message on behalf of the Cor- tes. with so much the greater pleasure as tbe Political Consti- tution which J « oh present to me, and founded on the bases I have already swnrn to, has been completed through a wise dis- cussion. which I have noticed with " mplilcency and admiration. This would en* ble me, from this moment, to confirm and ac- cept the same on oath. In the meantime, however, I will proceed to examine this sacred compact, which is about to draw closer the bonds of love and interest which unite me lo the nation, and I will hasten to point out to you the day on which my solemn oath shall be given." If, after all this, the King of " Portugal imitate the conduct of his brother of Naples, and solemnly abjure the new Constitution in Congress— why then, the Por- tuguese must determine for themselves what they have to do. The news from Trelaml are again of the most distress- ing nature. Sufferings frotn want no longer exist, and under good management, while there was plenty of pro- visions in the country, they never should have existed. But nocturnal depredations and wanton destruction of property have again commenced, and murders are again frequent, and the Collectors of Tithes have become ob- jects ofthe most deadly at) imositv. The state of Ire land js horribly awful— the condition of the people is miserable in the extreme, and it is to be feared, that our Statesmen are not yet pfepared with any well digest- ed plan for an effectual amelioration of their situation. The ecclesiastical exactions from the people of Ireland are now felt to be intolerable, and there is every indica- tion that, both in England and Ireland, the Revenues ofthe Church must, for the public good, be much di- minished In the mean time, the lower orders in Ire- land, driven to madness bv their sufferings, mistake the instruments of their oppression for its authors, and in- flict vengeance altogether tmdiscriminating. At a Meeting r. f Coirmis « ior, pr « of S. ipplj of Ahurdcerishirf, held here dlf Tuesday. Robert Williamson, jun. residing at Ard- mitrdo, wai convicted, on a complaint at the instance ofthe Solicitor of Taxes for Scotland, of killing Game without hav- ing taken Out a Licence, and adjudged- to pay the penalty of L. 20. besides the License Duty of L. 3 : 13: fid. REPA RTEE. — A Clergyman having asked a young Lady the other week in a large company, whether she hail ever tried to make a Sermon, she answered, " No, but I have sometimes tried to Lecture." Indeed, says the Clergyman, and pray what were your subjects? " Vaiious subjects," answered I lie Eady.— The Clergyman asked, if she ever handled the duties i of young women ; she said, " No, but I have sometimes been' j very eloquent on their privileges." S. ud he, " Tell me some i of them, for I think they must be very few:" to which the Lady answered, " one of their Leading privileges, Sir, is not tp answer an impertinent question."

The following fact, as- fat as it refers to the weather, if not unprecedented, is surely of rare occurrence in our changeable climate :— The re- building of the Church, in a parish in this vicinity, occasioned the meeting of the inhabitants for public worship in the church- yard. This they did. for the first time, on the 7th of Apiil last, and continued their meetings on the twenty- four following Sundays— not a drop of rain having fallen to prevent their assembling, or to interrupt their devo- tions. On the 56th Sunday, the last of the half year, the New Church was opened, and that also proved a fair day. On the 26' th ult. the Rev. ALEXANDER MACFAKLANE was admitted Minister ofthe united parishesofCratbieand Biaemar, and met with a very cordial reception from all classes of that numerous and important charge. The Rev. Mr. BUKCESS, of Glenuiuick, preached and presided on the occasion. two accnmplfccs; A precognition win tsketi on Monday, and the three are lodged iu goal, to stand their trial for the robbery. Inverness Journal. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The piracies on the coast of South America have of late been so very atrocious, that it is confidently expect- ed some decisive measures must be taken by our Admi- ralty, in order finally to check them. The property lost has been immense, and- the mo.^ t wanton murders have been committed. The American States have se- veral ships cruising against these pirates, but our trade naturally looks for protection from the British flag.

Her husband was a Captain in one of the Atholl regi- ments, under. Lord George Murray, and carried the royal standard of Prince Charles Edward, at the battie of Culloden in 1746. Of that unfortunate Prince. Mrs. Stuart had a most perfect recollection, and, till within a few days of her death, spoke with the fondness of long cherished reminiscence, and with the accuracy of a mind and memory perfectly entire, of bis dress, manner, and appearance. It was at Dunkeld. on his way to Edinburgh, in September 1745. that she had seen the Prince, and presented a pair of brogues to his Royal Highness, of which ( to her) momentous occurrence she had a Complete remembrance. After the forfeiture of Mr. Stuart's estate, he retired to the village of Glenalbert, and died there in 1807, at the advanced age of ninety- six. His widow con- tinued to occupy, the same bumble cottage, and to live in re- spected retirement, on the small part of their fortune, which had been saved, until the day of her death. As few, if any, now living, can. relate, from personal observation, the occur- rences of 174.5. it is probable that this may have been1 one of the last remaining links of connexion with a past age and gene- ration. THE LATE JOHN FORBES, ESQ. OF NE If. In completing our account of the Funeral ef the late JOHN FORBES of New, and the great respect deservedly paid his memory, by all ranks to whom his influence extended, or his name and character were known, we have to give the follow- ing particulars : The Procession having, after leaving Aberdeen, a,, stated in our last, 1- gone by the Dee- side road, stopped at Kincardine O'Niel on Wednesday night, and proceeded next morning.— Soon after passing Tarland, tbe deceased's tenants of Blelack- joined on horseback ; and on crossing the Deskry, at the con- fines of his estates in that quarter, a numerous assemblage of his tenantry of New ( with the tenants of Edinglassie and Skellater) were in waiting to receive tbe remains of their hon oured Landlord, accompanied by tlie Rev. Dr. Forbes of Strath- don, and the other Nephews and the Grand Nephews of the deceased, with many ofthe Gentlemen of the country. They arranged themselves on horseback, and uncovered, on each side of the road, the Hearse and Carriages passing between them, and then fell into the procession, and followed to the place of interment in the Church of Strathdon ; where, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, the body was lowered into tbe grave. A nd thus the earth closed over a man, of whom it may be truly said, that, " take hioi for all in alt, we ne'er may look upon his like again."

AMI Opner, EmisKtrRCK, ) , bZ, Ninth Bridge Buildings, C 7th Oct. W2 ) The subject of Greece we have for some time avoided, because the accounts received were perfectly Contradic- tory, and at this moment they remain so. According to the Austrian Observer, the whole Morea is in pos- session of the Turks. The Crescent is every where triumphant, and tbe Cross ae much depressed as the best of Mussulmen. could desire. The Greeks, however, have no friends apparently among the Potentates ofthe West of Europe, and the Press is not in any hurry to re- cord their successes. By letters, however, from the Grecian Islands, we are assured, that tbe fortune of war is not against the Greeks— that they have reposses- sed themselves of all the strong places in the Morea. aud that their fleet, now amounting to one hundred sail, is so superior, that the Turks dare not meet it. A short time must establish the truth, hut great paiiiS are at present tukeii for its suppression We are authorised to contradict a paragraph which appeared in the Dubliu Journal of tlwaSOih ult. staling, that the Senatus Academicus of the Marisfhal College and University, Aber- deen, had elected Dr. WILLIAM. KNIGHT as Successor to Dr. PAT. COFI. AND. Professor of Natural Philosophy, who had re- signed. The fact if, that the Office is not yet vacant, Dr. COPLAND not having resigned, and that the Senatus Acade- micus have never pretended to elect any person to fill it, the Patronage of it being vested in the Crown. On Tuesday, the Very Rev. the Synod of Aberdeen met here ; and after an able discourse from the Rev. Dr. Geo. S. Keith, how of Tulliallan, the former Moderator, ( and which the Synod requested the Dr. to publish,) they made choice of the liev. Mr. Cruden, of Logie Buchan, to be Moderator for the ensuing half year. No business of much importance came before the Synod, which adjourned till April next. We have gn- it pleasure in stating that the receipt of the Shore and Harbour Dues of this place continues to exhibit a steady and progressive increase— a circumstance very gratifying to all who are interested in the prosperity ofthe Port. The amount for last year, to the period at which the accounts are usually made up, was L. 774S independent of rents of property, &<!. being an increase of nearly 3001. above that of the preced- ing year. - Aberdeen Journal.

SHERIFF COURT OF KINCARDINESHIRE. On Monday last, the case of Robert Hunter, Overseer of the Salmon Fishing at Nether Banchory, came on before this Court. He stood accused, at the Procurator FiscalVinstanee, for assaulting George Milne, one ofthe men employed under him at the said Fishing. When called to the bar, and asked to plead to the indictment- the pannel at first pled Not Guilty, and prepared to enter on his defence, but afterwards consented to plead Guilty. In con- sideration of which, the Judge, after a most eloquent address to the prisoner, on the dreadful enormity of his crime, admitt- ed and proved by the best of all possible evidence, ( his own voluntary confession) sentenced him to be imprisoned for one week in the jail of Stonehaven, and to pay a fine of ' Two Pounds to the poor of the parish of Nether Banchory. Counsel for the Prosecution.- Robertson Scott, Esq.- Agent, Mr. J. Low. For the Prisoner Grant, E^ q.— Agents, Messrs. P. Christian and J. Sim. John Kvnoch was next called to the bar, accused of having stolen a silver watch, the property, or in the lawful possession of Laurence Houston, Road Contractor, on or about the 3; h day of March last. When called on to plead to the indictment, he stated that he was not guilty; after vvbich tbe Procurator Fiscal adduced his witnesses for proving the charge. It ap- peared in evidence, that Laurence Houston, from whom the watch was . stolen, had borrowed the same from one of his workmen; that Houston, the prisoner, and some others, W'ent to a roup of somestocking on the farm of Haddo, near which they were working; and Houston having drunken rather too freely, got himself intoxicated, during which the prisoner took the opportunity of easing him ofhis watch. Houston did not miss it till next morning, when he made Several inquiries at deferent individuals about it, but without avail. The watch Was discovered accidentally, however, about five weeks after- wards, in the prisoner's custody. The Jury were very ably addressed for the Crown by Hercules J. Robertson, Esq.; and for the panned by George Grant, Esq.; after which the evi- dence was summed up at great length by Mr. Douglas, the Sheriff' Depute. The Jury retired for about twenty minu' and then returned an unanimous verdict of Guifty ; and uie Sheriff' Depute, after a suitable admonition, sentenced Kynoch to six months solitary confinement in tbe jail of Stonehaven. Kynoch is. a good looking young man, and is a native of Montrose, by trade a baker. He got a good character from several witnesses whom he adduced for tliat purpose ; but they had only known him for a few months in London, and that three years ago. He behaved himself in a very unbecom- ing manner during his confinement, and evi? n during his trial. Counsel for the Crown, Hercules J. Robertson- E^ q. Advocate;— Agent, John Low, Esq.

The Prizes subscribed for at last meeting by Lord Tluntly, & c. have been strenuously contended for by the- Highlanders. A body of them arrived from Glengarry on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the atheletic exercises commenced, on the race course at Dunean Croy. The following is an account of them, so far as they have yet gone : — J. Vi' Itae, from Pol lory of Glengarry, took out three joints of the cow successively ; and the prize being five guineas for each, this Highland shepherd pocketed fifteen guineas. Alex. Roy M'Dotmell from Bunoich, took out the remain- ing joint, for which he received five guineas. Tbe crowd being troublesome on the ground, in order to get rid of them, one guinea was promised to the person who would be first at the toll of tbe Inverness Bridge— and thov- e sums, amounting to L. 2' 2 Is. were paid hy Gkngairy, as Steward ofthe True Highland Games. Upon Thursday the games were resumed, when Ronald M'Donuell- nu- Craig, from Leick, touk out two joints— Ten guineas. Alexander Iioy M'Donnel, from Bunoieh, onejoint— Five guineas.

The porter of the mail- coach: office and a boy cariying a trunk and a bag to Mr. Cant's lodgings, were attacked by two fellows, one of whom got off'with the trunk, but the guard of the Duke of Gordon coath having been within hearing of the por- erV cries, ran up. bi time to secure the, other. A party who went immediately in uursuit' succeeded in apprehending During the four first c? ays of this week, we have had with little intermission, a continued hard £ ale from the southward, veering at times several points, and blowing frequently with the violence of a hurricane. The effects by the subsequent accounts which ' hav£ reached us. it will be seen, have been very dis- astrous at sea, while more extensive loss and damage of shipp- ing are to he apprehended. On Monday morning, the Alpha, Wood, coal loader?, bound for this port, having her c. mv; « s spent, was put ashore a little to the southward of Don mouth, during a tremendous ^ ale frotti-' S. and S.

NEH A VEN, Oct. 7.— This morning, about eight o'clock, the sloop Marthas, of Limekilns, James Sharp, master, with l| tne. frAm Sunderland to Findhorn, was driven in here among the rocks at the back of the harbour, all on fire, ahd scarcely a rag of sail remaining. She had. from the violence of the weather, sprung a leak, about s30 miles at sea, off* Ber- wick, last night, between eight and nine o'clock, and shortly after, the crew found that the vessel was on fire ; and, by the time she arrived here, she was in flames from stem to stern. Great praise is doe ro the seamen and others in this place, tof the extraordinary exertion instantly made, to carry two boat* over the pier and rocks, with the view of saving the people on board, which they ultimately effected, but at the imminent risk of their own lives— there being an immense sea runningat the time; so much so, that one of the two boats, in returning with part of the crew from the wveck. was nearly swamped, a heavy sea having almost filled her with water, and swept the man at the helm overboard ; but, being a good swimmer, he reach tut the rocks, and was assisted there so as to get safe onshore.-— Had the vessel been kept at sea for an hour or two longer, ail onboard must have perished ; for, shortly after they were got off, the fire was so great all over the ship, that the men would have had only the choice left of throwing themselves into the sea, to save them from the flames. In the coufse of a little time, the mast went over, the rigging being previously de- stroyed. Her anchors will be saved, but the vessel and every- thing belonging to her, even ihe greater part of the men's private probity., is altogether lost. The sails having been previously blown to pieces, and the ship, on that account* being almost unmanageable, her getting in here at the time she did, and the lives of he » hands being thereby saved, is truly providential. The vmck has driven on the beach. On Tuesday, a light sloop having shifted her ballast, and sprunk a leak, was run ou Rattray- head— the crew reacheti the shore in their boat ; but the vessel, next morning, wa » not to be seen, having, as is supposed, been driven to sea iu the night. The Margaret, Cowie. from London to Sunderland, in ballast, lost both anchors and cables in Yarmouth roads on Monday. The Theophilus. Runeey, of and for this place, from Sun derland, with coals, was driven to Peterhead, with the loss of her fore- fop- sail and bulwarks. The Bromby smack, Middieton, which sailed from this place on Saturday last, for Hull, got into this b » y yesterday, after being in the open of the Moray Frith. On Tuesday morning last, saw the Sprightly, Johnston, which saiied from Aber- deen on Saturday also, for the Frith of Forth, in ballast, about 20 miles off Kinnaird's Head ; so tnat it is apprehended, he must have been driven to the Orkneys. Yesterday, tl ie brig Martha ol London, from Gibraltar to Leith, with bark, after being in the Forth, arrived in this bay. The vessel, we learn, had performed quarantine iu the Downs, where she had landed a large sum in specie. On the Yorkshire coast, on Monday last, a Galliot, from Newcastle to Holland, with a general cargo, foundered.— Crew saved with barely their clothes they wore ; and afterwards, when exposed to the greatest danger, were taken on board a Collier, which landed them at Shields.

J P 0 ST S C R I P T. LONDON, Oct. 8. Letters have been received from Leghorn, dated the IGth of September, via Amsterdam, which convey very satisfactory in- telligence from the Mores regarding the cause of the Greeks. Their fleet, which consisted of 100 ships, had put to sea ami was in the best condition. I'he^ e letters farther say, that the Tutkish fleet was in a wretched state of disease, and would very soon be obliged to leave the Moiea for want of; proper equip- ments, From Trieste a letter of the 20tl> ult. states, that the day before, a vessel had arrived there from Cataenia, near P- t- tras, which sailed from that p? ac. e on the 2 7th of Augwst. By this channel, letters had been received which fully confirm all the successes ofthe Greeks over the Turks. Farther particu- lars are anxiously expected, for die Gieeksare certainly not put down. * The fact that the Duke of Wellington do. s not proceed to Verona, or to take any part in the Conferences of the Holy Allies at Vienna, farther than delivering the communication with which he is charged to them, coupled wflh other circum- stances relative to our foreign politics at present v.- iif naturally excite attention. It thus appears that, the British Cabinet wilt in reality have no^ Uepresentative at a Congress, which we were led to suppose would be ofthe utmost importance, at least to- all Europe}' The attendance ofthe Marquis of Londonderry at Verona is, we believe, a mere piece of Courtesy, in confor- mity With diplomatic etiquette * inasmuch as the Court of Au:-- » tria being ins<> me sense removed, pro tempore, from Vienna » a Verona, also in the Au> trian dominions by the presence of the Emperor in the latter city, and his Lordship being aur Re si-, dent Minister at the Court and not the Capital% ofhis Imperial Majesty, he is almost necessarily required to follow him to Congress .' Joseph Hume. Esq. M. P. arrived from Berwick, at the Turf Hotel, Newcastle, about f- 1 o'clock on Tuesday evening, and left that place at nine on Wednesday morning, on his way to the fouib. Had time been allowed to convene a Meeting for that purpose, we are informe d that an Address would have Veen presented to Mr, llume by the Reformers of Newcastle, U a sking him for his exertions in behalf ofthe suffering people of England, who have been impoverished by a profligate was'e and expenditure of ihe public money; and praying his farther excrtii in the public cause to be directed to an investigation^ of tiie • ecubir affairs of the Chart h Establishment, and pari if- culuriy the tithing system, by which so large a poitic*! of the national v. ealtti ur- d resource* i> abi> o< betf.— jDurhum C'i^ rjic.
