TETRftSBUHGH, the Metropolis of tlie Empire rr Russia, at the commencement of the eighteenth century, was ur. ly a small fivdug village, ' out is now a large regular built open handsome city, founded by Peter the Great, at the mouth of the River Neva, and bottom of the Gulph of Fin- land partly on the Continent, and partly on several Islands; and the ground on which the City now stands WHS a vast morass. In 1 703, Peter erected a few wooden houses, a hut for himself, and a citadel with six bastiitns. In 1710, Count Galium built the first house of brick, and in 1711, the Em- peror, with his own hands, laid the foundation of a house of the same materials. From these small beginnings rose the Imperial City of St. PrrERSBtlRGH; and in less than nine years after the wooden huts were erected, the Seat of the Em- pire was transferred to it from Moscow. The streets are straight and generally broad and long, frequently intersecting each other, and three of the principal streets, which meet in a point at the Admiralty, are about two miles in length ; most of them are neatly paved, some have a gravel walk along the noddle shaded with poplars, and canals from one point of the river to another pass many of them, by which the inhabi- tants are supplied with water. The old small wooden houses are not suffered to be repaired, or, if burnt down, to be re- built, consequently the number of them is now greatly re- duced ; fiow ever, the mother of all that exists in the city, tbe first wooden cottage of Peter the Great, has a brick building on arches erected over it, to preserve it as a sacred relic of that Monarch. The brick houses are covered with stucco, painted of a pink, yellow, or green colour; the roofs are nearly flat, formed of sheets of cast or sheet copper, com jnonly painted green or red ; tiles are only used for out- houses and the meaner sort of buildings. The mansions of the Nobility are vast piles of buildings, furnished in the most elegant style, and the public edifices are of a grandeur and magnificence agreeing with the mighty concerns of this vast Empire. Petersburgb contains 286,000 inhabitants, but si: me wi iters have even stated the population to be about • 400.000. This Panorama was taken from the Tower of the Observatory, one of the most elevated situations in the city, but it is not seen in the Panorama. It is not necessary for the Proprietor to enter into a detail of the merits of the Picture, its having been exhibited in Mr. BARKER'S, Leicester Square, is a sufficient recommendation ; it is only requisite to say, that he has spared no expence in making a safe, sufficient, and respectable building, for the purpose; and respectfully solicits tbe support of the No- bility, Gentry, and Public in general, in this undertaking.

At a Meeting of the Committee for the Relief of the dis- tressed Irish, Right Rev.

W. S KI \ T N EII, Pr. At Aberdeen, June 6, 1823, The foregoing account was examined in conformity to the above Resolution, compared with the vouchers, and found cor- rect— a Balance appearing at the Credit of the Committee, of £ 369 19s. 5d. H. I). FORBES. DAVID MILNE. The Committee cannot concluded their labours, without congratulating the Counties of Aberdeen and Kincardine, on the general good feeling displayed last year, by all ranks, in giving the most liberal contributions, with the utmost alacrity. They have particularly to request, that the Clergymen of both these Counties will accept of their best thanks, for the great and meiitorious services, and the large contributions which they re- ceived from them, and the Congregations un ler their charge. They have also to return their be^ t thanks to the Gentlemen, who leceived subscriptions at the Banks, and various other places, and particolaily to the Committee at, . Huntly ' f Mr.- JOHNYTON of the Aberdeen Bank ; Mr. BRAND, Stonehaven ; and Mr. CHALMERS.. Fraserburgh. The Comm: U. ee are in- clined to hope, that ' the Jibe? al assistance which tins country has given, will long be remembered with gratitude by the greater part of the Irish. It is will known that a great deal of misery prevails, even iu ordinary, times, - among, the population of Ireland j but the distress of la^ t year, owing to a coinbina tion of unfortunate circumstances, arose to a height which has not been paralleled in their recollection. It was met, how- ever, v\ iih vftecKuul rt'SK- f, from England and Scotland, until at last the Contributions exceeded the actual wants of thp po- pulation at the time. In this circumstance, the Committee cannot see much to regret, as neither the feelings which led the people of this country to come forward, in behalf of iheir fellow subjects in Ireland, nor the distress itself, were such as admitted of being reduced to calculation » if, on the other hand, the supply had fallen short of the wants of the Irish, it would have been considered a matter of deep and lasting regret. It only remains for the Committee, to request the instructions of the subscribers, with regard,* to the appropriation of the balance of money that remains ; and in the meantime, they beg leave to submit to tbe consideration of the Subscribers the following mode, both with a view to the rights of the persons v\ bo have subscribed the money, and the usefulness of the objects to which it may be applied. As the Subscriptions were received from the Counties of Aberdeen and Kincardine, the Committee would recommend that the money be given to Institutions iu which both these counties are nearly concerned. Thus: Infirmary, - " - - ,£ 103 Shipwrecked Seamen's F « i! » d, - The Institution the Deaf and Dumb, 75 Education Society. - - - 75 £ 350 And tbe balance that may rem un. after paying the News- paper accounts, also given to the infirmary.

DAVID CRUDEN, Pr. 0 Temporal O Mores! To the EDITOR of the ABERDEEN CHRONICLE. SIR, FROM the specimen. I understand, which we had 5' esfer- dny at the Public Meeting held here in behalf of the Greeks, of the capability of my countrymen to talk like other people, ( who give a great deal of trouble to the powers that bo, in the exercise of their necessary and useful avocations of taxing and tax- eating), I am fearful we shall soo'n lose our celebrity for silence. Would you believe it, Sir, my Cousin. TIMOTHY PLAIN, who until lately conducted himself with much proprie- ty as a silent Whig— save and except occasionally troubling you with an epistle— why he. Sir threatens to speak also the first Convenient opportunity. Iu truth, my countrymen's mouths seem fairly opened, and if LIVERPOOL, CANNING, PEEL & Co. once learn that the Aberdonians have got the gift of speech, the effect I fear may be followed with as disastrous consequences as would follow the Ghost, of CASTLEREAGFI, ap- pearing like another Banquo's to tbe nerves of his former poli- tical associates. It is a pity, however, that our celebrity should be thus taken from us, without a single effort being made by those who are staunch supporters of the good old way, to cor- rect this innovaiion. Let me call the attention of those Gentle- men to the circumstance of the length of time, for which we have been celebrated for silent acquiescence in every public measure, devised by the collective wisdom of the nation, and to give no countenance to this daring innovation, which threa tens to destroy that which is so indubitably rendered venerable by time— the Silence of Aberdeenshire. Indeed, it is on re- cord somewhere, that we had an University Chair ably filled in days of yore by a Professor of Signs, uho astonished and edified a Foreign Ambassador with the extent and depth of his silent acquirements. No doubt, Mr. Editor,' tis a little of the leaven of this Professor's instructions which still cleaves to us — but ah ! how little. In my fond remembrance the time was, when neither his Grace, nor the veriest whipper- in of Ad- ministration, would have ventured to meddle with matfers as the tongues of some now- a- days do. No, Sir, they chuckled, and croaked, and looked as though they were dying a quinsy, while their high coloured cheeks and distended bellies told how well they were paid for their decent and comely deportment. Our late worthy Representative, who sat so long in Parlia- ment for the County, was an honourable example of our Nor- thern character; and sure never was a man more entitled to our gratitude. While others gabbled and jabbled, telling and exposing every thing, ( not sparpig Royalty itself} he kept his place, and did as he was bidden ; and I am sure it is much to the honour of the County, and a lasting proof of its discern- ment and wisdom, that, it made choice of a man for the suc- cessor of FKIIGUSON, upon whom his mantle has evidently fallen. A silent vote. Sir, or a loyd cheer, does not cripple and impede public business; but only consider what detriment ensues when JOSEPH HUME, that man of words and figures, gets upon his legs? Why, Sir, he throws all into confusion ; and many a good pension, and many a thousand pound, he has hindered from being thrown amongst the deserving friends and supporters of the Ministry. We should have thought that he and Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON, from their northern advan- tages, would have known better, but it " seems not; for the latter, on a late speechifying occasion, has made one- half of the electors of Scotland no better than the veriest lick- spits, and had the audacity to shew plainly to the ga2e of the vulgar, that our voters qualifications, in many instances, were not the possession of land, but dirty bits of paper, called Superiorities. Poor Lord, he has no taste for antiquity, otherwise he would have adored that discolouration which renders these qualifica- tions venerable. Scotchmen, Mr. Editor, should leave these sad doings to such men as BROUGHAM. CREEVEV, and so forth, whose tongues must be continually exposing this thing and the other thing, not sparing even the King's robe, which cost but a trifle of =£ 20 000 or so. But no— they heartily join them, and discourse with the greatest fluency from the pensions of the Duke of C's. daughters, down to the best paid sinecure among the Stamp Distributors. I beg, therefore, Mr, Editor, you will use your influence, in combination with mine, to stop this influenza of the tongue, which has begun to work its ravages amongst us ; and could we but induce our countrymen to. hold their tongues and' keep silence, then might the ivy continue to mantle the towers both of the State and Borough Politic. Then might the successors of the present dynasty, who are seated on the throne of Bon Accord, build more piers, plan houseless street, build bridges, and borrow more debt y aye, till they could* borrow no, longer, in perfec; quietness, without the necessity of making a public confession," to relieve the burden of a guilty conscience before retirement. i remain, Sir, Your devoted servant, STEPHEN SUPPLE. Vkoyal Hotel, June 21, 1823. P. S.— No doubt you will be surprised that X write you from this place, instead of soy estate of Supple Castle ; but the fact is, my factor, PETER BOOBOO, Esq. Advocate, is not the same man he wa » a dozen years ago, and I buve been so plagued « itl> heritablebonds at this term, that I must have immediate recourse to the stocking and crops < f mv tenants. Poor fellows! I am tofd on the Fridays, now- a days, they must content themselves with plain Whisky instead of Port and Snerjy; and many of them fear that, by and bye, they wj'}{ be dsiven to Butter Milk. But what can be done, the-. e BomUhoiders. dog take them, will not conform to the iimes, f » > r inaleud of" 3 percent, winch would pay them well enough, ihey stick up for the old score of five. But Quietness is be& t. S. S. To the EDITOR 9/' the ABEKDEE^ CHRONICLE. SIR, IT must have given a pleasure of the highest degree to the fiends of Christianity and Independence, to see the fervour and unanimity, with wljich reshluudtns were entered into yes- terday, in favour of the Gj Ct; n atopic. Mr Editor; Lama man little disposed, in general, to m; » l: e observations on puh-* vie rrieetings. I have generally contemplated these things, rather, in their effects, when animadversion as well as eulogy, would have been too late, than to interfere, at a time wheri my voice might probably only cause an additional discord on t he mahy stringed instrument of public opinion—— or at best, he lost in its more prominent swells. Having been now, for long time, deeply interested in the fortunes of the Greeks— even, indeed, I may say, since I came to the knowledge of tb;;. ancient and modern history of their Country-—- it W39 w ith the most weening expectations I attended the meeting of our spirit- ed and viHuotis countrymen, for the purpose of taking some part with the above people, in their interesting cause. I re- peat myself, the cause is iwteresting to a! that hear the Chris- tian name, Or rather all that pre actuated by Christian princi- ples— to at! that would promote the establishment of humar* r? ght and independence— to all, allow me . to sayvin a particu- lar manmer, in whose reins is the blood of those who, in . for. i.- er ages, braved the efforts of usurpation, tyranny, » w » d Vs^ McOir-? brtrigue. iu order < o preserve freedom and national dignity in this our northern Greecc As an Aberdonia'n, I felt particular'y gratified at seeing, ri the assembly those of my native county, who are most con- spicuous for fortune, learning, and intelligence* and all heartily resolved to exeit their virtue in the . v A » the sliufte time', howpv. er, I was not a iiule disappointed at missing the preseuc e. of •< mo w ho, in conformity with their principles, a- t actibe Christians, at) d dutiful citizens of the world, ought to have b « en willing, at hast to shew' their good wuf by person- ally attending, . yjien resolutions of such a nature were drawri. up. Nothing, indeed, was wanting to give the meeting alf respectability— and probably those who were prevented from at- tending will embrace the opportunity afforded by open subs- cription. to evince their sense of the obligations of justice and benevolence, by liberal contribution. The object of the meeting, it is well knoton, was to set cri foot a branch association. There are many doubtless v^ ho, with me, would have relished better, that in Scotland-^- in the coun- ty of the gallant GounoN- r- an independent association rather had been thought of ; as there appears to be no necessity for either the authority or patronage of- any society, beyond the generous individuals who are willing to apply their personal attivify as well as their purses, to promote the grand cause.— Mr. GORDON is assuredly a much fitter channel of affording ai C to the Greeks than any Committee in London, The motives, to be sure, which actuate those who wouid operate merely a* subordinate to the London . Committee are to be commended, as they evince a willingness to do good, without vanity of displaying it as an independent body ; but, I a n, cuuvince-. l, that the scheme, would be more successful were a Committee to be formed in Aberdeenshire, or for all Scotland, without any reference to am- ther country. Be this as it may, 1 wish all success to the exertions of those who hay; begun the good work ; and far be it from me to dissent from any plan of the kind, while it is the only one adopted in the country.

COUNT ABISBAL. Of all those who haVs appeared on the' political stage of Spain within the period of the revolution, the cha- racter of Hcnrv O'Donnell, Count Abisbal, is unques- tionably { he rirost wavering anil enigmatical. The im- mediate descendant of a family driven from Ireland bv Nthe same causes that expatriated that of I. acy and so many others, the Count, imi^ li more highly favoured ou the score of fortune Chan tVie hero of Catalonia, iii, f the reputation of being reaily his equal in; military know- ledge and personal bravery, qualities which he frequent- ly displayed during the war of independence. It was, however, just after the laurels of O'Donnell had been fresh gathered in the field of honour, and while the Li- berals conceived they had not a more staunch supporter, that the army of restrve, raider his command, followed the baneful example of Elio's corps, and declared in fa- vour of the old despotism. Whatever might have been the motive which induced the Count thus to ' sacrilica such dearly earned fame, and the interests of his coun- try, it is certain he retained- his honours and emoluments • in 1814, while his nomination to the board of General Officers, for re organizing the ani^ y,' proved lie had be- come a favourite at Court. That O'Dolinell, however/ was not sincere in his abherence to Ferdinand1, is evi- dent from the eorrespodenee lie is Said to have entered into with the confidential attendants of Charles IV.' its 1815, for the avowed purpose of restoring" the old Mon- arch, and converting him into - a Constitutional King.— He also was one of, these who urged Lacy to strike the' first blow of national regeneration in Catalonia; ' lie him- self being appointed Captain General of Andalusia. He promised faithfully to support the attempt with all ' the troops under his command at Cadiz and its vicinitv.— Notwithstanding his famous order of the day, ou the fail- ure of Forlier, which once more shook the confidence in- spired by his recent professions, Abisbal ' took great pains to manifest his wishes hi favour ol a change, when, in addition to his former appointment, he was named Commander in- Chief of the expedition, which was in- tended for South America. It having been previously arranged that the troops should encamp at Port St. Mary's, and the 15th July ( 1819) appointed iiof carry- ing the plan into execution', O'Dohnell called his friends together, and informed them tiiat as there was every reason to believe the whole scheme had been discovered by the Court, it would be impossible to wait so long ; he had therefore determined to lix the morning of thv 8th for effecting. tfie object in view. This coimmmica • tion was most joyfully received. The " tli of July arrived/ All eyes were turned on Abisbal for the fulfilment of his' promise. A part ot the army was already under arms, and waited'the event with the utmost anjrtetv, when, on a' sudden, tl? ey found 11 rem selves suh- ounded by the ctivalrv Slid garrison of Cadiz, headed by the Count himself, crying C/' jiu el Rey, and issuing orders for the arrest ot several officers, amongst whom were Quirog. i arid Arc » Aguera. This inexplicable perfidy excited infinitely more indignation than teiror among the patriots. Only- five days elapsed before fresh meetings were held, and a' plan of operations was proposed to" bring the enterprise to a s'uccessfnl'isSUe. l- n the meart time Count Abis! i: il returned to Court where, though apparently well re- ceived on his arrival, he tiret with the treatment due to traitors, and was quickly called upon to rcsi'tn his com- mand ; Count Calderon being appointed his successor. On the 1st of January, lb' 20, Ki" go; . Qtiiroga, and others, commenced the revolution of Lu tsla ; a number of provinces declared for the Constitution ; stiec'tss liVd nearly crowned the efforts' of th'- patriots, Svlien O'Don- nell— the shuffling— traitoroifs O'Dbntivll, being again" appointed by the Kmg- tiva high military command, turn- ed round once more to the triumphant parfv, and assist- ed" five patriots in their v. ork of regerierStioir.

Geo. III. The particulars of the case were these— on 17ih ' I^ ec. last, the complainer pawned his watch for the sum of 5s. On 28th February he re- paid the five shillings of principal ; at same time the pawn- broker demanded 7^ d. of profit, which was pa? d. By the 2d section of said statute, pawn- brokers pre allowed to charge one penny per calendar month for every pledge ot{ which there shall have been lent the sum of five shillings. By section . yli it is provided, that where pawned goods are redeemed wifhin the space of seven days after the ex- piation of a calendar month, nothing is to be charged by way ' of profit " for the said seven days and that where goods are re- deemed after the expiration of seven days, and before the ex- piration of fourteen days, a .. profit may be charged equal to one balf- of the rate allowed for a calendar month.

By the provisions of the Statute, the profit al- lowed on the above transaction was 2| d. whereas 7£ d. was the sum exacted. v Tfie complaint- having been advised on oOtfa May, the Ma- gistrates found that the penalty provided by the 26th section t the S'aiute was incurred, but mitigated, the same to £. 5, one moiitv payable to the complaiuer, and the remainder to the Poors', Hospital • and the penalty, as mitigated, has been paid accordingly. An idea prevails amongst female servants, that if after being engaged, but before entry to their service, they give or offer hack their nr/ es, the hiring is of no effect. The Justices, inn case of this nature before them, gave 30s. of damages against • sera- ant. girl in the parish of Skene, for refusing to enter upon her service,' as engaged, upon the pretence of having thrown up her arle* before the term.

Kew Scfion/ at Forres.— On Thursday se'ennight the foun- dation stone of Anderson's Institution . for the education ofthe poor children of Forres, Raff'ord, and Kinloss, was laid in Torres, with tbe usual ceremonies. A bottle was deposited in the stone, containing various coins the Supplement to the .

The different Societies and- public bodies ofthe Burgh went to the site of the building in procession with a band of music, and the day was closed in festivity and merri- ment. The class room of this institution w ill contain about J50 scholars ; besides which there will be comfortable accom- modations for the teachers. The site of the building appears to be well chosen, and its completion will add another fine fen- lure to the beauties of Forres. This institution is founded, and will be supported fror. p funds left by the late Jonathan Anderson, Esq. of Glasgow, a native of Forres, who also mortified some feu- grounds in Glasgow, which yield about one hundred pounds sterling per annum, for the benefit of poor householders in Inverness. DISTILLERY LAWS. It is with much pleasure we are enabled to state that the proposed alterations in the Distillery Laws are at length agreed on. and that they are of such a nature as to promise the most beneficial consequences to the country at large. The substance of these changes in the system is comprised in the subjoined Resolutions, reported to the House of Commons on Thursday last, unanimously agreed to, and a bill founded thereon or- dered to be brought in forthwith. They embrace the three following most important points? First, a Reduction of the Duty on Spirits, from 5s. 6d. to 2s. 6d. per Gallon. Second, a Bounty or Drawback of 3d. per Gallon upon exportation to foreign parts ; and Thirdly, a permission to warehouse the same upon bond, either for exportation or home consumption. Th? Resolutions arc as follow ; and the advantages to the legal Distiller, as well as to the Agriculture ofthe country, which must result from their adoption, are self evident. 1. " That it is expedient that the duties on spirits distilled from com or grain, and on licences to distil the same in Scat- land and Ireland should be made equal, and that the regula- tions for the collection of the said duties, and for the distilla- tion and manufacture of such spirits, and for the warehousing thereof w ithout payment of duty, should be assimilated in Scot- land and Ireland." 2.

GENTLEMEN— I have lately had delivered to me by the printer ( Mr. Buhner of Cleveland- Row, London), the i tical manuscripts of the Poems of Ossian, both the original Gaelic and the Latin translation, from which the edition, three volumes, large octavo, published anno 1807, was print, ed. They were given to me, as being the person who had the principal charge in carrying on that publication; aud you will herewith receive them, as I am extremely anxious that these precious documents should be deposited in a place where they are the most likely to be carefully preserved ; and 44 The Advocates' Library in Fdinbttro/ i" seemed to me, in every point of view, entitled to the preference. To tfi. it Library, I also beg to present a copy of the edmoi printed in 1807, w hich contains some dissertation*, in which there will fie- found milch important evidence, not previously known, in support of the authenticity of Ossian. In regard to that much controverted question, notliin; seems to he more absurd or preposterous than to suppose that Mr. Macpherson should have taken the great labour of con- verting into Gaelic Poetry, a number of Poems, composed by himself in English, and of which he secretly wish'd to b. considered, not as the translator, but the author; and that he should thus destroy with his own hands any pretensions he could have to that fame for originality to which he is supposed to have aspired. But the best proof of their authenticity is this, that all those who understand the Gaelic version are decidedly of opinion, that Macpherson's translation does not do justice to the origi- nal ; and that the Gaelic is greatly superior to the English, both for beauty of expression and energy ( if thought. Jt is w « h much pleasure that I deposit these manuscripts in a place so well calculated for their futnie preservation as the Advocates' Library, where the ardent imjitirer may have an opportunity of inspecting what has justly been accounted one of the greatest literary curiosities that has hithei to appeared iti any a « » e or country. — I have the honour to be, Gcntletften, your faithful and obedient vrvant, ( Signed) JOHN SINCLAIR. 133, George Street, Edinburgh, June 9, 1823.

On Tuesday last the Presbytery of Stirling met for the pur- pose of receiving the resignation of the Rev. William Sh'i'r- refl* minister of the parish of St. Ninian's. The high char- acter of the Rev. Gentleman among his brethren— his de- served popularly as a preacher— and, above all, his appear- ance there for the avowed object of resignation, after discharg- ing for thirty y6ars, with exemplary zeal and fidelity, the duties of pastor of his present charge, excited no ordinary interest in the community at large. The meeting was crowded with strangers. After the discussion of some preliminary matter of little importance, the Rev. Mr. Dempstt'r delivered a suitable pe- tition for divine aid. Mr. Shirreff then rase. He began by saying, it would no doubt be expected, that previous to placing his resignation in / he Moderator, ho should enter into a detail of the causes which influenced him in pursuing so serious and important a step. This, however, he must decline, and would trouble them no farther than to state, in general terms, his reason for so doing. In the first place, he was of opinion that be could not enter into such a statement in the presence of the Presby- tery, constituted, as they were, since the reasons were of a nature that for him to get up and enter into a speech of such compass would be to act against his ow n conviction. Another reason was, that he had all his life endeavoured to act so studiously scrupulous of the laws and forms which regulate that church of which he had so long been a member, - that to enter into a particular explanation of his resignation would be so directly in opposition to the character which he had hither- to maintained, that he could not now with propriety make any deviation. He might, however, say, in general terms, tfiat the course lie that day pursued was influenced by one great cause imperious duty to God, to himself, to the Pres- bytery, to the Church, to his contemporaries, and to pos- terity. Yet whilst he thus felt restrained in. entering on that explanation which might be expected, as to the causes which did influence him, he saw no reason why he should not men- tion some of those causes which certainly did not influence him. It was not, nor could it be, from any misunderstand- ing betwixt him and his parish. The members of it had always borne themselves toward him with respect and regard— he always lived in peace and love with them, and he owed and felt the deepest giatitude for the share they added for so many years to his happiness. Now an imperious duty called on him to say, that, whilst conscientious motives bound him to withdraw himself from fulfilling any longer the duties of their pastor, it was not without feelings of deep regard for them and their future welfare ( and which would ever be deep- ly impressed on his heart), that he had resolved on placing ' himself in the situation in which he then stood. Every thing had been done to render his situation comfortable ; every j thing he desired, lie might say. had been granted to him. j He applied for an augmentation, it was freely conceded ; he applied for the accommodation of a comfortable manse, that was also readijy granted ; he had asked for an addition to his glebe, nor was that withheld. In short, he said, whatever he i met with in the parish of St. Ninian's was calculated to en.- ! dear it and all ranks of the people to his heart, and to induce j him to continue in discharging the duties- of its pastor. It was j evident there had been nothing that could influence him to tender that resignation which he now held in his hand. The brethren with whom he had so long acted could be no cause. 1 He knew their moral and their intellectual qualifications. For all of them he h< « d the highest esteem and regard. To many, with whom he had gone hand in hand in fulfilling the duties ntrusted to them, he was endeared by the ties of friendship j and love. However much feelings of duty might have put j some in opposition to him, and him in opposition to others, j yet such opposition hail never interfered with their personal legard for each other. Every member ofthe Presbytery had at alf times treated him with indulgence and affection. He now felt how much, and how valuable, these were to his heart, so that whilst it cost him a pang to separate from them, it was manifest, so far as they were concerned, there could be no inducement for the course he was now taking. It was therefore clear, that among the causes could not be numbered the worldly motives of honour, pleasure, or profit; for these he was now sacrificing in the cause* However much con- sistency and duty prevented him, at that time, from entering into particular explanations, it was still proper to inform them, that he would be at all times ready and willing to re- ceive any of them who might be pleased to call on him, and would unreservedly enter upon an explanation of such parti- culars as might be required. In the hands of the Moderator he was therefore now ready to place his resignation. The Presbytery might read it, or they might satisfy themselves by handing it round, as they thought proper. It being resolved that the resignation should he read, the same was accordingly done by the clerk in the following terms : " To the Moderator and other Members ofthe Reverend the Presbytery of Stirling. " GF. NTI. KMEN— fn the religious communion, especially when established by civil laws, of Papists. Prelatists, Pres- byterians, and Pat. lo- baptists, the word of God, iu fact, is hot and cannot be used as the rule and only rule, to a greater or less extent, of the materials, constitution, government, discipline, doctrine, worship, and obedience of the Church of Christ. Wherefore, and for other like causes, I do hereby resign my clerical charge of the parish of St. Ninian's. " Your acceptance of this, my resignation, will oblige, ** Gentlemen, yours sincerely, WM SHIRREFF." Dr. Moodie said, he considered the present one ofthe most solemn matters which could come before them. It was not matter of light deliberation— far less fitted for being decided by a few minutes discus- ion. The lt> v. Gentleman alluded to the nature of the resignations which could come before them. They were confined, he said, to two. The first was on ac- count of w hat might he termed promotion to the honours of a Professor's chair, or from one living to another. Such was generally accepted without any delay. The other was resign a* tion on account of schismatical opinions. Of this description lie must consider the resignation of their brother £ aud it was Assembly to ascertain what should he- done. Having, entered a tittle farther on the propriety of dealing, with their brother in the spirit of forbearance and tenderness.* he concluded by moving—• That the resignation of Mr. Shirreff . should be allowed ( o lie simphciter on their table tifl " next' meeting of' Presbytery." This motion was seconded by tbe Iiev Mr Dempster. Mr. ' Shirr^ fr tl* en ro'- e and said, he was well aware that, ac- cording to the: u^ tisiI course of procedure, they ought to con- fer with him before accepting his resignation—- such a course, die believed, was con- jisfori/. with form. They would therefore do iiv'rtas they thought proper. He was ready to retire with one or. . more ofthe members, and then terminate a matter that pWjbaps would, not occupy more than a few minutes. He was however in duty bound to inform them, that it would prove ' unavailing, for there was not tbe smallest prospect of any change taking place in his mind. Dr. Small delivered himself at considerable length, press ing warmly on the Presbytery the good that might be derived by dealing wish their brother in kindness, and giving him time for serious and undisturbed reflection, as it seemed the most likely plan to succeed in removing any strange perversions that may have taken hold of his mind. He did not thWik that any thing should be decided upon for three or four months. He would propose. that a Committee be appointed to converse with him in the mean time, and every thing done to reconcile his mind with his duty. Dr. Knox said, no man could be more averse than he was any other than a mild and indulgent course being puisued. He would propose some other. Yet he could not see what was to be gained by the delay now proposed. They ought not, for the sake of religion and the honour of the Church, to permit such sentiments as appeared in the document- before hem, to go forth to the world, without recognising them, in some shape or other, as requiring their immediate cognizance and interference. Mr. Dempster and Dr. Wright were desirous that as much time as possible should he allowed their Rev. Brother, for reflection and meditation, before his decision on so momentous a subject was accepted. Dr. Mylne was of opinion that they had met for a special purpose, they could not well delay its consideration beyond next meeting. He thought in the meantime a Committee should be appointed to confer with their Rev. Brother, and rep - rt to the Presbytery in writing, when they again met. This would leave their hands clear. After some farther discussion, Dr. Knox moved, " that Mr. Dempster, Dr. Moodie, and Dr. Wright, be appointed a Committee to confer with Mr. ShirrefF, and report to tbe Pres- bytery next meeting." The motion was seconded by the Rev. Mr Caw. 1 he motion of Dr. Moodie being again read, it was carried by a majority of one. Not a word throughout the day's proceedings escaped any ofthe member's of Court, that could in the smallest degree tend to press on the feelings of the Iter. Gentleman whose case they were called upon to deliberate. All, whilst they lamented the course which he pursued, bore testimony to his alents, and the ze. nl with which he had discharged the duties of his parish. SIR ROBERT WILSON. EXTRACTS./*)//! TWO LETTERS from SIR R. WILSON, ADDRESSED TO J. G. LAMBTON, ESQ. M. P. OF VIGO.— 44 Already 1000 men have been sent off to the ny. Every horse has been given up for the service, and every man oftlie town aud district is inrolled in the militia. OF GALICIA.— " This province can be defended with 12,000 troops, aided fry the inhabitants, against the whole army of he Duke d'Angoulcme, supposing he could employ his whole force in the operation ; at the same time, by its connection ith the Asturjas, and communications with Leon and Castile, assumes, with its defensive means, an offensive attitude on e most important basis of the enemy's communications, if he advances south ofthe Ebro, and more particularly of the Douro. [ N. B Refer to the map]. Galicia, connected with the As- turias, an.! secured on its right by Portugal, can have but one danger to . apprehend, and that is upon, her sea coast, but the French will he very cautious of maritime expeditions, as they will be afraid to rouse our jealousy. It is really extraordinary what the Galicians have done with their own limited means ; and I have this day seen on parade several hundred more men of the finest military description, who are all ready to go for- ward as soon as they can be armed and equipped. OF VIGO.—" I have requested a return OF what has been done by t| » e inhabitants of Vigo alone, and of their present wants. It would be most agreeable to me, and most useful, if any contributions should be going forward, as I t'ust there are, in England, to send here the fir a supply of arms, & c. I should think 1000 are required at the present moment, 44 Etqui cito dat bis dat." " For France must make peace, or try ' he ortune of her arms very soon in lh\ s quarter* under every disadvantage, and, as I affirm, with the assurance of defeat, if I can only get one- half executed of what I propose in the interests of this country and our own." OF CORUNNA— lf The people of this town are enthusiastic in their attachment to the Constitution, and the English Vice- Consul of Ferrol tells me it is the same there, but the popula- tion is small. The volunteer force is composed of as fine men as ever I saw in any country, and also the disposable militia, many de- tachments of which are doing duty in Galicia. The greater part are clothed, and are all clothing, though with great sacri- fice to " the inhabitants. They are also all nearly armed, but some of the arms are in an imperfect state, though I was much pleased to see they were all iu good order, as far as cleaning could accomplish it. The conscripts are all fine young men, and do not seem discontented, except for want of clothing. 44 Some of those who formed part of the Royal guard on the 5 th of May are here, and I am told behave as well as any of the very best troops of the army. There are also some penitent factious, but they are very inferior to the Constitutionalists, | from youth and appearance. Altogether, I suppose* between Vigo and Corunna, the garrisons of both included. I have seen 5000 men, wanting nothing but supplies and discipline, . to make them the best troops in the world, taking all in all ; ; for a Spaniard, with water and a bit of bread, or a kind of pea, will march forty miles a- dav. 44 The auxiliary corps of 5000 British ( at least) is clamoured j for by all classes; and it would create and organize a force of • 30,000 men in this province and the Asturias ; but even w ith-. out this corps, w ith only a few- good officers and some few non- commissioned officers, I would pledge myself to have an army ] of 25.000 men ill two months," if w. e could only get arms aud . equipment." ! tmcutu I- ntpct m J& xvI fantcnt. HOUSE OF LORDS. Monday* June 16. S PITT A L FI E L D S W E A V E R S. The " LOUD CI1 A N'CE LLO R sai l he had a voluminous petition, which, as a Peer of Parliament, he felt it his duty to present to the House. It Was from the journeymen weavers, praying tirat the bill before the House, to repeal an act which regulates their wages, may not pass. There was nothing in it but what was respectful, and, coming from so numerous a body of individuals, he would only say. without anticipating the subject, the petition was entitled to the most attentive consider- ation of their Lordships. . The, Earl of LIVERPOOL alluded to the standing order ofthe House by which all bills relating to trade were required to be referred to a Committee. Whether the present bill came under the meaning of th'a" standing order or not he would not say ; but he thought, at all events, a most patient inquiry should be made info the nature and operation ofthe bill. ( 1 fear, hear.) He thought it due to the individuals interested in this bill, to say, a more deserving and orderly class of persons did not exist. He did not mean to say merely during the time the present bill has been in agitation, but for many years past ; for he had opportunities, of observing the loyal and good conduct these individuals had evinced during a time when scarcity and various difficulties pressed heavily upon them. He thought the prayer of their petition claimed the most serious and deliberate attention. The Noble Earl concluded by saying, that he would, on Wednesday next, move that the bill be referred to a Com- mittee. Lord ABERDEEN postponed the Scotch estate bill until Friday. Thursday, June 18. SCOTS APPEAL— BEACON BOND. Counsel were this day heard on a petition for the subscri- bers to the bond of credit for the late Beacon Newspaper, for leave to appeal against an order made in the Jury Court, that they should give in answers to the condescendence for Mr. Gibson Craig, and in the event of their not doing so, that the Clerks of Cou> t should frame Issues with a view to proceed to trial. Counsel were heard at great length. Mr. Brougham for Mr. Gibson Craig, and the Attorney General for the Pe- titioners. The LORD CHANCELLOR then stated that the House would give judgment on Friday. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE brought forward a motion on the state of Ireland, in a long speech. His Grace attri- buted the calamities which r. filict that country, to the disquali- fications ofthe Itoman Catholics, U> e Tidje System,, and tjie j partial preference ofthe high Protestant or ( Grange P/. rt \\ In conclusion, he moved a resolution, embodying the h ad- ing topics of his speech, and pledging the House to apply it- self to the examination of the best means for remedying the evils of which - the people of Ireland complain. * Earl B ATIIURS T moved the previous question, which was carried by a majority of 4( 7. Friday, June 20. SCOTS APPEAL— BEACON BOND. The Lord CHANCELLOR this morning gave judgment in the above case. Hi; Lordship held, that the petition for leave to appeal did not set forth that the second action was brought for the same publication of the same libel— it might be for a different publication of the libel ; and 2dly. that the appeal interfered with the progress of the case to a Jury, on the direction ofthe Judges that the Issues should be prepared, whereas the acts ( 55 and 59 G30. Ill ) only contemplated an appeal against the result of going to the Jury.— Appeal dis- missed.

The order of the day for going into a Committee on this bill haying been read ; on the motion that the Speaker do leave the chair, The Hon. AGAR ELLIS described the bill as useless, complained that the time of the House had been wasted upon it, and moved that it should be adjourned to that day three months. Mr. GOULBURN defended the measure; and hoped it would be allowed to pass without in the mean time going into the details. , The House divided— For the amendment, 56— Against it, 51 — Majority, 15- The House then went into a Committee on the bill. Several clauses were verbally amended. The Committee reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Wednesday. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at half- past one. Tuesday, June 17. Sir II. PARNELL postponed his notice relative to the ap- pointment of a secret Committee, to inquire into the extent of the disturbances in Ireland to this day week. Mr. B ROUG H A M postponed his motion relative to the dministration of justice in Ireland, from to- morrow till to- morrow week. Col. WOOD brought in a bill to amend the laws relative to the settlement ofthe poor. Read a first, and ordered to be read a second time to- morrow. The sale of beer bill was read a third time. On the ques- tion that the bill do pass, the House divided— For the Bill, 6* 1-- Against it, 26 — Majority for the bill, 38. The House went into a Committee 011 the assessed taxes composition bill. Heport to- morrow. The prize money distribution bill went through a Committee, when— Mr. HUME called the attention of tfie House to the great delay which took place in the distribution of prize money. CHIEF BARON O'GRADY. Mr. S. RICE brought forward his long impending charge against the Irish Chief Baron, Mr. Stand'ish O'- G- rady. in the form of a motion, for a Committee of the whole House to take the report of the Commissioners or Inquiry upon Mr. O'Grady's conduct into consideration, Mr. Rice spoke at great length in justification of his proceeding, but briefly with respect to the particular subject of charge, viz. the exacting of some unusual or unprecedented fees from suitors in the Exchequer. These fees, according to Mr. Rice's calculation, amounted, in the aggregate, to something near L. 1000 in the 15 or 14 years contemplated in the Commissioners' report. Some of them too, he confessed, had been taken in the time of " Lord Avon- more, Mr. O'Grady's immediate predecessor. The Honour- able Gentleman concluded by moving a series of resolutions, which declared that, in consequence of an address of the House of Commons, his Majesty had been graciously pleased to issue a Commission under the great seal for examining into the fees received by the officers ofthe Courts of Justice in Ireland ; and that the 9th and I Ith report of the said Commissioners repre- sented that the fees demanded and received under the authority of the Lord Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland were excessive, unlawful, and contrary to previous usage ; re- capitulating the various topics urged in his speech, and pledg- ing the House to inquire into those alleged abuses. A long desultory conversation followed, chiefly as to the mode of proceeding w hich it would be necessary toadopt. Some Members suggested impeachment, others an address ; but all were unanimous in the opinion, that an opportunity of defence was due to the accused. The general imp. ession seemed to be, as observed by Mr. Peel, that though the irregularity of some of the fees instituted by Mr, O'Grady called for animad- version. their paltry amount abundantly negatived any corrupt purpose. The farther consideration of the subject was then adjourned to Thursday. USURY LAWS. Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW then moved the order of the day for going into a Committee upon the bill for repealing the laws against usury. Mr. DAVENPORT moved to commit the bill this day three months. Mr. Ricardo. Mr. J. Smith, Mr. Philips. Mr. T. Wilson, Captain Maberly, Mr. W. Smith, Mr. Bennet, and Mr. W. Wynn supported the original motion, which, on a division,- was carried by a majority of 33 to 15. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the1 House adjourned. Wednesday, June 18. Mr. S. WORTLEY said, he rose now to introduce into the! House what he believed was no more than a small corps of a' l arge army of petitions, praying that no alteration might be made in the law as it at present stood relative t. the importa- tion of foreign wool. The Hon Member said this was a ques- tion of such importance that he thought it ought to be made a subject of strict investigation and inquiry. Mr. CURWEN, although differing in opinion with his: Hon. Friend 011 this subject in other respects, agreed yvith him! in considering inquiry as most necessary. Mr. Bright. Mr. Ricardo, and Mr. Robertson, said a few- words. The petitions were forthwith brought up aud received. THE SHERIFF OF LANARK. Lord BINNING said, that he had been deputed to make a statement in behalf of a Gentleman w ho conceived that he) had been greatly misrepi esented by a Noble Member of the- House ; and w hen he considered the great publicity that was given to the debates, it was but natural that a Gentleman in such circumstances should feel most anxious to correct any undue impression that might have gone abroad concerning his conduct. The Sheriff of Lanark did not wish to deny thai- Lord A. Hamilton had not lost any votes by the arrange- ments at the elections, but this he most solemnly declared, that lie had not interfered in the least to produce any- such loss : i he had filled the office of Sheriff for the county of Lanark, dnr- tbe period of twenty- live years, and the general rule he' had followed was to fix the day of election so as not to inter- fere with those electors who had votes to give elsewhere. lie ( Lord Binning) having been acquainted with . Mr. Hamilton for several years, and knowing him to he. a man of honour and Gentleman, could not hut - feel willing to make the state- ment he had. Lord A. HA MILTON said he thought it irregular to give explanations in the House to satisfy persons out of'the House of statements which had been by Members, nor should he now say any. thing on the subject, were it not to satisfy the Noble Lord of the cortectness of what he ( Lord A. II,) had previously stated. The inferences which had been drawn from has state- ment by the Noble Lord ( Lord Binning) and the Sheriff, were ntire'y unwarranted by what he had said in opening the debate on the Scots County Representation, but in the facts which he ( Lord A. H.) had stated, and which he would now repeat, he was warranted in drawing the inferences which he had drawn as to the partial feeling of the Sheriff. It was necessary to state, that a Sheriff in Scotland was an entirely different ofiice'f from a Sheriff' in England— that he was appointed. l> v the Crown, and ( he believed) removable by the Crown,' and always a candidate for the patronage of the. Crowm. The present a « id other Lord Advocates would confirm him in stating that they had begun their career as Sheriffs of Counties, and he would appeal to them whether they had not been in the habit of ap- pointing the same days for different elections for electioneering purposes? Mr. Hamilton, the Sheriff of Lanark, was open to his suspicions, from the open and warm part betook in the election, though he was free to confess the Sheriff of Stirling had appeared^) him to have acted still more improperly than the Sheriff of Lanark. The latter, however, who w- as from his situation bound to impartiality, had so far forgotten him- self that ( having come into the Court, where the votes were taken) when a person who had supported him ( Lord A. Ha- milton) had given his vote agaiast him, he cried out 41 that is an honest vote," a line of conduct just as improper as if the Speaker of the House should call out— 4> that is a good speech.'" After such conduct as this, was he not warranted in drawing the inference which he had done as to the motives of bis nets ? The Noble Lord then stated, that at the Michaelmas Meeting, • preceding the Geneyal Eleciion, the Sheriff had declared, that after the ' dissolution, he should fix as distant a day as possible to allow all the claimants to vote ; that subsequently to the Elec- tion, w Ueu. it h*; d been arranged between thediffvrtht Sheriff's, betray his duty to himself and to the other Representative Scots Counties, if he declared that Mr. Hamilton had ac impartially. The LORD ADVOCATE rose fo address the House, - the Speaker interfered, and reminded the Learned Lord was no question before the House, ahd the subject dropt. BURNING OF WIDOWS IN INDIA. Mr. PITT presented a petition adopted at a meeting of the county of Bedford, praying the House to interfere to put au pud to the practice of widows burning themselves on the funeral piles of their husbands in the British settlements in India. Mr. F. BUXTON wished to call the attention ofthe House to this petition, which related to a subject of much greater im- portance than many persons were aware of. The House would scarcely believe that in the course of the year above 800 un- fortunate women fell victims to this horrid practice ; and these sacrifices were frequently attended wit'h circumstances of the most shocking description. So great was the poverty of some of the persons who thus devoted themselves to death, that they were not able to procure fuel sufficient to consume the victim, who was often left in the greatest agonies amongst the dying embers, their sufferings furnishing matter of amusement to the surrounding spectators. He trusted no time would be lost in putting an end to this horrid practice. The petition was received, and ordered to be printed. Mr. F. BUX TON then moved for copies of all correspond- ence between the Indian Government and the Government at home on this subject, and the account of the steps'which had been taken by the Governments in India to put an end to the practice. Ordered. SCOTS CONFIRMATION BILL. The LORD ADVOCATE moved the third reading of t!; « Scots Confirmation Bill. After a few words from Mr. Kennedy, Mr. H. Drummood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Goulburn, Lord A. Hamilton, and the L / rd Advocate, the Bill was read a third time and passed SCOTS COMMISSARIES BILL. The LORD A DVOCA l'E moved the third reading of th ® ^ Scots Commissaries Bill. Lord A. HAMILTON aid he would take the sense of the House 011 the question for proceeding to the Order of the Day. The House divided— For proceeding with the Order, 56—• Against it, 21— Majority, 35. On re- admission t-; the gallery, we found Lord A. Hamil- ton in the act of moving that the Mouse should adjourn, but the motion was not seconded. Mr. KENNEDY said, that as the enactments of the Bill were contrary to the recommendation ofthe Parliamentary Com- missioners. and as no statement had been attempted to justify such contradiction, he would move, as an amendment, that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. J. F. G R A N I' moved the question of adjournment. After some farther- observations from Mr. Hume, Sir Geo. Cferk. and Lord A. Hamilton, the House divided on the question of adjournment* For the adjournment,-. 9— Against it, 44— Majority, 35. Mr. HUME moved, ( hat the farther discussion ofthe ques- tion should be adjourned till next day. The LORD ADVOCATE acquiesced in the motion, on an understanding that the bill should have the precedence of other questions. Thursday, June 19. NAVAL PROMOTIONS. Mr. HUME addressed the House in terms of eulogy upon the exploits and character of the naval service In wh it he meant so say, he intended 110 Offence to any naval " officer, be- cause be respected the service too much to do so ; hut since the peace, he considered that the Lords of the Admiralty had ne- glected the services of old meritorious officers, and placed their juniors, who were inexperienced and incapable, over their heads. The Hon. Member entered into a detail of the griev- ances complained of, and concluded by moving a series of re- solutions embodying the principal statements contained in his speech, the last of which was—" That an hwmbte address be presented to his Majesty, that he will be graciously pleased to direct an inquiry to be made into the manner in which the Right Honourable the Lords of the Admiralty have exercised their power, both as. regard- the placing 011 full pay those officers already on the list, and the promotion of the several officers to higher rank in the navy since the peace in 1815." After a long debate, the previous question was put and car- ried ON the two first resolutions. On the third lie- solution the House divided — Ayes, 32— Noes, - 153 — Majority against the Resolution, 121. The remaining Resolutions were also a'l negatived. CORONATION EXPENSES. Mr. HUME said, he had now to bring before the House 3 subject of very great importance, he meant the subjret- of the money expended at the Coronation, especially as regarded the money taken from the sum paid by France as compensation money, and appropriated to the discharge of the Coronation debts. The Chancellor ofthe Exchequer had stated, that the sum of L. 500,000 of this money had been received and was to be applied to the service of the public ; whereas it now appeared that of this sum L 133,000 had been applied to the expenses of the Coronation. This he considered as a breach of confidence on the part of the Government, and an illegal act. The Hon. Member proceeded to comment on the expense of several parts of the ceremony ; he especially condemned the keeping a diamond bauble ( the Crown) year after year, at a great ex- pense, though no longer useful. lie thought a select Com- mittee ought to be appointed to enquire into the causes ofthe excess of L. 138.000 expended above the estimated expense of the ceremony of the Coronation, and into the items of that ex- penditure ; and also to ascertain the authority upon which Ministers had applied the sum of L. 138,000 received from France towards defraying the expense of the Coronation cere- mony. , The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not oppose this inquiry because he was fearful of investigation,, but because it was unnecessary. The fact was, that the L. 100,000 was taken on guess, the expenses ofthe Coronation 60 years ago being no guide in the present day. As to the " Crown, that was hired. The estimated value was L 63,000v and the hire was 10 per cent, on the value. In addition to this was the circlet, value about L. 15,000 mere. But what was this compared to the jewels hired at the coronation of George III. ? The value of the jewels then hired was L. 200,000, aud the expense of hiring was about L. 15.000. The crown wa* prepared in 1820, but the coronation was postponed for a year. This delayed the ret urn of the jewels, and increased the expense, as- it was considered better to keep than return it; and after- wards, the ceremony being over, a question had been raised as to the propriety of keeping it, rather than returning it, the King offering tugive L. 30,000 towards it; but something bad happened to- prevent the purchase, and the crown, after having been kept for some time, at a considerable expense, wa « re- turned. As to the robes, which formed a second object of charge, only the usual robes had been used ; and included in the item of L. 24'/* ) 0 were a set'of Parliamentary robes, in which his Majesty went to open or close the session. These were not bad before they were wanted, as his late Majesty had no new robes. Those which his present Majesty wore previous to his Coronation had been in the Royal Family for upwards of a century, and when hung on his Majesty, it was with difficulty they w- ere proTented> falling in ruins from his shoulders. Next, as to the IVeAch' iVioney; this was public money, to hi? appropriate^ to''{ iiihlfc- services. Now would any one deny that the Coronation public? and if it was so, then the Ministers had - nototl'ended in the appropriation, although- it might be an excessrve . expenditure. Under all these circumstances, he woujd meet the motion by a direct negative. After a long debate, the Gallery was then cleared for % division— For the Motion, 77— Against it, 127-— Majority against the Motion, 50. SCOTS COMMISSARIES- BILL. The LORD . ADVOCATE then moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Scots Commissaries' Bill. Mr. J. P. GRANT said, if the third reading of this Bill was pressed at this late hour, he would move that the House do adjourn. A conversation took place between Mr. W. Smith, the Lord Advocate, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Peel, aud Sir G. Clerk, and the third reading was fixed for Tuesday. The other orders were then disposed of, and Che House adr- trned at One o'clock. jou Friday, June 20. WI RT EM B E R G— H O L Y A LLIA NCE. Mr. B ROUGH AM wished to put a question to the Rightr Hon. Secretary for Foreign Affairs, as to the withdrawing of}" their Ministers from the Court Wirtemberg by the- powers, ofthe. Holy Alliance: whether the accounts in some of the foreign papers, that this ste^ bad been adopted by the Allied. Sovereigns in consequence ofthe Court of Wirtemberg having- refused to suppress certain newspapers and political publica- t ons ? or whether, as other reports stated, it was in conse- quence ofthe King of Wirtemberg having protested against the invasion of Spain by France ?. Mr. CANNING said, that this Government had no direct official communications on this subject, though intelligence had been received agreeing iu some particulars with that of thc^ Hon. Gentleman, but totally dissimilar in others. He ad- verted to the inconvenience which might be caused by questions thus put respeciing transactions between oiher powers in which we Were not interested. Mr. BROUGHAM said, it was the privilege of Members 1 e- f Parliament to put questions on transactions between foreign ' powers; and lie never could view any transactions in which ( the Sovereigns of the Duly Alliance were connected as unin- teresting to this country. As to the propriety of putting ques- tions in that House on the conduct of foreign powers, that riglit hid heen recognised lately in the case of France and Spain by the Right Hon. Gentlemau himself. Mr. CANNING was aware that questions had been put and answers given in the case alluded lo by the Hon. Member, but there was a great difference between a case in which we were only spectators, and one in which we were parties. SCOTS JURIES BLIL. Mr. KENNEDY then moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Scotch Jury Amendment Bill ; and, in doing so. entered into a review of the present Cunstitu ion, aud form of proceedings existing in the Court at present, a., related to the mode of foYming Juries. In the last Session, the right of peremptory challenge had been obtained, w hich circumsta. ee alone had introduced a great, improvement into the Criminal Law of Scotland. The Learned Gentleman then adverted lo j J case that had lately occurred at Inverness, and which proved the importance of ' he right of peremptory challenge on the part of the prisoner— the nomination of the Jury was almost wholly in the hands cf Hie Sheriff; and that was a state of things j that called loudly for alteration. No danger could be appre- hended from a change in the law on the suhjett of the nomina- tion of Juries. In Scotland, a majority only was required by the law. and men had been condemned whom seven Jurors out of fifteen had judged lo be innocent. Could any man seriously think '. hat any injustice would arise from putting the Criminal Law of Scotland on the same footing with what it was iu evev other part of the British dominions. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the second reading of the Bill. The LORD ADVOCATE stated the object of the Hi II to be two- fold ; the one to alter tbe mode of choosing the larger number of 45 that was sent into Court, and then to choose by ballot ofit of the 45 tbe Jury by whom the prisoners were to be tried The Learned Lord then proceeded to argue against the necessity of any alteration in the existing law, as there had been no instance of its having been abused, nor any danger of its b - ing so; and concluded by moving that tbe Bill be read a second time that day six months. - Mr. J. P. GRANT supported the Bill. Air. I'l l il L, opposed the bill, and recommended that it should now be withdrawn, and an amended bill be brought in jtext Session. Sir J. MACKINTOSH warmly supported tbe present bill. 7' tie House then divided— For the second reading - 1?— Against it, 4' 2— Majority. 5. The Hilt was then ordered to be committedon Monday, CAPTAIN MANBY. The House having resolved itself into a Committee of Sup- ply, a Resolution, granting L.' IOOO to Captain Manhy, for his services in saving the lives of shipwrecked seamen, was moved and agreed to. Tbe Report was ordered to be received on Monday. The following Resolutions respecting the building of Churches in the Highlands of Scotland were reported and agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in ;— " 1. That the Barons of the Exchequer in Scotland be authorised to direct the issue by the Receiver- General of Scot- land of sums not exceeding L. 10,000 in any one year, and L. 50,000 in the whole, for building additional Churches in tbe Highlands and Islands of Scotland, under certain rules and regulations. " 2 That the Barons of the Exchequer in Scotland be authorised to direct the issue, by the Receiver- General of Scotland, of a sum, not exceeding L. 100 per annum, to each ot •: v Ministers to be appointed to any of the said additional Chim in s, under certain rules and regulations."

" The van- ouard of General Bordesoult overtook, on the 8th. a division of the enemv consisting . of 1500 men ; he dispersed it, took 600 prisoners, a standard, and two cannons.

" The atrocities committed by this Partisan Chief ex- aspeftltc- peopfc against him." Some lines lower was an extract of a private letter from Perpignan, of the 9th of June : " The Authorities learnt yesterday, at eleven in the morning, that Mina had dared to show himself upon our frontiers, and especially at the villages of Palau, Usseja, Ta We Otis and Matroja, with about three thousand men. The imposing postilion of Mount Louis was a securi- ty that the enemy could not make any progress; how- ever, till that were disposable of troops, gendarmerie, custom House Officers and National Guards, received orders to march to the menaced points. " \ dvic> s were, however, soon received, that the enemv had retired without doing any other injury than frightening the inhabitants of the frontier, who had not at the moment the means of defence.'

" Report of the Major- General of the Army of the Pyrenees to tbe Minister of War. " MADRID, June 7.— The column under the orders of Lieut.- General Count Bordesoult was on the 5th at Puerto- Lapichc, and his advanced guard would reach Manzanares yesterday. lie is perfectly well received in the country through which he passes. According to the jeportswhich he lias received, the roadsthrough thewhole of the Sierra- Morena is perfectly clear ; and though the revolutionary chief Schalego, who traverses La Mancha with seven or 800 men, left Manzanarcs on the 5th, and in the direction of the Penas Peros, it does not ap- pear that he intended to halt there, or to form a junction with other forces in that quarter. " A commercial courier, who left Seville on the 3d, reports that the Cortes had on that day assembled to the number of sixty or seventy members, for the purpose of deciding on the departure of the King, who was to be conveved either to Cadiz, to Puerto Santa- Maria, or to Badajoz. Opinions were divided, and the debate was adjourned to the 4th, for a determination on this impor- tant question. Great fermentation prevails in Seville, but the people are restrained by a garrison of from 3000 to 4- 000 men of all arms, among whom however, there ate many militia, who only wait for an opportunity to escape. The sajiio courier announces uiat there is also fermentation in the garrison. Some movements in fa- vour of the King I131] taken place, and cries of" Live the absolute King 1" were heard. The crowds were fired on, and some soldiers were wounded bv stones and cud- gels. There is therefore every reason to believe that Seville is now in a state of great disorder. " The expeditionary column commanded bv Lieut.- General Count de Bourmont left Tnlavera de la Reina on the 5th, and vesterday advanced on the right bank of the Tagus. The Royalist Chief Merino, who oc- cupies Placentia, will flank this movement by marching on Ca ceres. Some troops are echeloned towards Alma- ras Oropeza, and Vnento del Arzobispo, in front cf those that occupy Talavera. " The revolutionists of the Astnrias having made some demonstrations on the frontier of St. Audero, General Huber marched from Burgos on the 5th, with a move- able column of four battalions mid ' 200 cavalry, to pro- ceed towards Aqtu/ ar Jt- 1 C'ampor while Lieut.- General Bonrck continues his operations on Leon, menacing Oviedo. We expect the most advantageous results from these movements. " Count GUILLEMOXT." FOURTH CORPS. tleport from Marshal Moncey to the Minister for War.

" In the night of the 4th General Vence, who com- mands at Mataro, notified to General Curial that he was informed tile enemy intended to make a new attempt on that point. These two Generals act in concert. The former marched on Argentona, llie latter on La ilosa, near the Col de Parpes, in order to induce the enemy to attempt the occupation of- Mataro ; but having learned in the mormna that he had made no movement, our rs , , , troops returned to their respective positions. " From Vich I shall push forward to Gerona, whence I shall return to establish myself at Cardeden, in order to be near Vich, Mataro, and Manresa, while I wait for the reinforcements which your Excellency has an- nounced to me. Immediately after their arrival I shall take measures for investing Barcelona. " Marshal the Duke of CORNEGLIANO ( MoNCEY.)" " Granolles, June 7.." Report of the Lieut.- General Commanding in the Depart- ment of the Eastern Pyrenees. MY LORD— The resuit of the different advices I have received on the march of Mina are, that he has to- tally evacuated Cerdagne, retiring by the valley of Itibas, with 2000 men. 80 cavalry, and 20 duties, laden' with ammunition and money. His manoeuvre seems to evade fighting, and to find a retreat from the pursuit of Gene- rals Donnadieu, St. Priest, and Eroles Mina's inten- tion appears to be to approach Ftgueras, while our troops are seeking him in the Cerdagne. A report from Pratz di Mollo, of the 8th June, informs me that a di- vision of the corps of Mina occupied C'ampredon on the 8th.

The Mbniteur contains the Report of Count Bourde- soult, commanding the troops of the expedition in Anda- lusia, to tlie Duke of Angouleme, detailing the parti- culars of his attack on the Spanish troops under the com- mand of General Placentia, in the vicinity of Visilo, on the 8th instant. The Spaniards are said to be com- pletely dispersed, with the loss of 600 infantry, 50 ca- valry, and 18 Officers prisoners ; a standard, two can- non, three store waggons, a quantity of baggage, and chest containing 17,000 francs, also fell into the hands of the vietors. The Count in his Report states confident expectation of entering Seville by the 22d inst. at the latest The Journal des Debates announces that the Spanish Regency, established bv the Duke of Angouletne at Madrid, has abolished the Decree of the Cortes which had reduced the Tithes one- half, and has restored them to their full amount. The same Regency have notified the intention to apply to the Pope for authority to levy ypou the revenues of the Clergy a subsidy of only ten millions of reals, instead of the thirty which they have contributed to the expences of the - State during the last six years. PARIS, June 1.6.— A French regiment, which pro ceeded with till possible promptitude from Villa Real to Bergera, arrived in time to deliver Abisbal from the hands of the Alcade, who, after having arrested him in the French mail coach, was on the point of having him shot. Abisbal has entered France. lias long < Vistfusteu Brigadier Lampayo. For this rea- son lie was flismissed the service, and on the morning of the 27th, his regiment, No. 23, was- orde- red to leave the capital for the province of Beira, where- it- was to form a part of the Army of Observation. . This order was executed ; but at some distance from Lisbon the Co- lonel harangued his troops, seduced them, and'marched back with them. Having halted in the neighbourhood of the city, he wrote the following letter to the Gover- nor : • " MY » EA| ft GFSERSI, Attn FRIKMD— The disposition of the present. Ministry and the formation of a new one.,-;! King with dignity, and a Constitution which may assure the. happi- ness an J repose of the country— in lino, union anil the oblivion of the past — such is what the 23d regiment wa- nts: yo'u" doubt- less want the same. Anarchy has then ceased lo exist. ( Signed) " SOUZA." LISBON, May 31 — The following are some details respecting the counter revolution commonced four days aoo, and which is not vet terminated. The Infante Don Miguel made n movement at nine in the morning with SO horse and 360 foot. He causotl tbe abolition of the Constitution to be proclaimed in the square of Villa Fran- ca, and afterwards proceeded out of the town on the road to San tavern. The Prince sent the following letter to his august Father : " My Father and Lord— My only grief is for having left your Majesty's palace without your permission ; but as I could not obtain it from your prudence, and being unable longer lo see the degradation of the throne, contrary to the wish of the wfiole kingdom. I ftave adopted a course which your Majesty, as a King, cannot disapprove. We ought to presetve the Royal Majesty unimpaired ; it is a deposit with which we are entrusted. I merely aim at serving your Majesty, as my King, as my Father, and delivering ihe nation. I hope that ffeaveu will aid US, and that, as a Father, you will give we your be- nediction. though as a King you may have to perform out- ward acts contrary to your royal heart. I kiss your Majesty's hands. '' Your most devoted Son, MIGUEL." Tbe Prince sent for General Pamplona, who repair- ed immediately to him. The square of Villa Franca was illuminated on the 27th. M. tilv detachments deserted their posts At the opening of the sittino, it was notified, that the -. ' . " o King bad appointed a new Ministry ; but some hours after, it was announced that Don Neves Costa, appoint- ed Minister of War, had gone over to the factious. The Kincr appointed in Ins place the deputy Fonseca Hahgel. M. de Br. ineamp, o e of the heads of the moderate party, who was - appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs, appears also to have left the town. The troops assembled at Villa Franca intercept the couriers. The Cortes have appointed the deputy Jorge d'Aviliz de Sousa Tavers, General in Chief of the armv. The guard of the King's person is intrusted to the ISth regi- ment. General Sepulveda ( the author of the first revolution of Oporto) was intrusted with the defence of the capital. On the 28th he published a proclamation, in which he requested the people of the capital to place confidence " in a man who never had any other thing in view than the happiness of his country." But on the 29th, it was learned thaa Sepnlveda had left the city with all the troops he could carry off, and that he had joined the Infante Don Miguel. In the sitting of the 30th, the War Minister made a report to the Cortes, from which it appeared that " the traitor Sepulveda had caused the desertion of 2760 of the troops of the line." SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. PERPIGN AN, June 4,— When Mina made two troops appear before Vich on the 26th, the priests and monks went about all the quarters of the town, and all the houses, to induce the inhabitants, who have remained in the place, to take arms. Seeing that all their efforts were useless, they caused the order to be signified to them on pain of death, by the Central Junta of the town. The intention of the inhabitants was the more unfortunate, as Mina had, on the 15th of May, published the follow- ing BAN. " Don Francis Espoz Mina, Lieutenant- General of- the Na- tional Army, Knight Grand Cross of the National and Mili- tary Ortler of St. Ferdinand, Commandant- General of the Seventh Military District, and General in Chief of the first Army of Operations, having had know- ledge of the Ban, pub- lished under the date of the 10th instant, by the pretended Central Provisional Junta wf the town of Vich, of its district, and the adjacent communes, and desiring lo recal to the Spa- niard- their duties and obligations, and to give tbe French army an idea of w hat it must expect from the constancy of this mag- nanimous nation, orders and commands— " Article I. — All those who shall have formed part of a junta of any assembly whatever, or of any kind of Corpora - tion opposed to the present system of Government, or who shall have inrolled any person to take arms, or conspired against the political Constitution of the Spanish Monarchy, which is the same tiling as conspiring against the Catholic Apostolic or Roman religion— against the legitimacy and perpetuity of the reign of Setior Don Ferdinand VII. which is contrary to his express will, shall be irrevocably shot tbe very moment they shall be taken. " Article II. — Every commune in which the tocsin shall be sounded against the Constitutional troops and individuals shall be burnt till it is reduced to ashes, or till there does not re- main one stone upon another.

We have not yet any details of lus march, nor what have been the movements of General Don- nadieu. While Mina was having the above proclamation pub- lished, General P.

LISBON, May 28.— The Supplement of the Diurio de Governo contains what follows : It was reserved for the present epoch to experience humiliation, ar. el to witness that infamous event of which a degenerate Portuguese, a near relative ol those vile factious, the Silveiras, is the author. The Government ll'URTFMBERG- FRANKFORT, June 7.— The public attention is at this moment fixed on Wurtemberg. on account of the recal of the Ministers of Prussia, Austria, and Russia, who resided at Stutgard, It is affirmed that the three great Powers are dissatisfied with certain acts of the Go- vernment of Wurtemberg, which do not harmonise with the system of the Holy Alliance, or with the kind of opposition whilA it manifested by its Ministers in the., Germ an Diet on the communication made to that As-" semhly, of the Resolutions adopted at the Congress of Verona. Nevertheless, nothing very serious can arise from this, for it would be necessary to overturn the whole Confederation, if one of the Members were at- tacked singly. The following is the text of a letter, addressed by the Emperor Alexander to General Bonkendorff, his Mi- nister to the Kino of Wurtemberff: p c, " Desiring to give you marks of out particular favour for the exact accomplishment, iu perfect conformity with our will, of the last mission with which you have been intrusted during your residence at the Court of Wurtemberg, wre ap- point you Knight of the Order of St. Anne of the first class. We order you to wear the accompanying insignia of that Order. in a manner conformable* to the regulation. I am your well affected " ALEXANDER." It now remains to be seen what was tlie nature of the mission of the Russian Envoy to the Cabinet of Stut- gird, which he seems to have executed. to the satisfac- tion of his Sovereign. On the other hand, we give tbe text of the Resolution of the German Diet on the 30th of May, which suppresses a Wurteiiiberg Jour- nal : " 1. The German Observer published at Stutgard, is sup- pressed by the German Diet, by virtue of the authority coiv- feired on that Assembly bv the Resolution of Sept. 20, I SI 0 ; and the continuation of that Journal is wholly prohibited, " 2. The Government of Wurcetnberg shall be requested, through its Minister at the Diet, to cause this Resolution to be executed. 3. This Resolution shall be communicated to all the other Members of the German Confederation, by their legations ; and they shall, at the same time, be requested to forbid the German Observer from continuing to appear in those parts of their dominions which form a part of the Confederation. The responsible Editor of that Paper, M. S. G. Liesehing, is further prohibited from editing any other periodical Paper of a political nature during the space of five years. " 4. The present Resolution shall be communicated in an extract from the Protocol to the Central Committee of In- quiry at Mayence; and an observation shall be added that the Diet considers the grievances laid before the Diet, by the let- ter oi the President of the Committee of the 23d March, this year, as being redressed by the present Resolution. " Two Commissioners - nave been appointed by this Country, for the purpose of' ascertaining, conjointly with . two Commissioners on. the part of Spain, the va- lidity of the claims bv British subjects on the Spanish' Government, and for the purpose of arranging their payment from the fund assigned for their liquidation by the Cortes Sttri.

SCOTCH ATTAINDERS— We understand that a pe- tition has been presented to his Majesty, praviiig for the restoration of the Titles of those Peers of Scotland who were attainted in the years 1715 and 1745 ; and that his Majesty, graciously considering that the families of those Peers have sufficiently suffered underrthe penalties inflicted on them, arising out of the attachment of a long line of ancestors to the cause of an unfortunate family, has been pleased to signify his will that the Titles should be restored. The petition has been referred to his Ma- jesty's Ministers to be acted upon accordingly.— London Paper. The following is given in a " Second Edition" of, the London Courier of Saturday. " We have just received a second Express from Paris which left that capital yesterday at noon. It has brought us the Journal des Debuts, which announces the im- portant fact of the removal of the King of Spain to Cadiz, on the 12th instant. It also mentions that on the 15th inst. Mina sustained a severe defeat, and lost 600 pri- soners. The news from Lisbon is confirmed. The following is an extract of a private letter ;— •• ' PA HIS. June 20, 11 A. M.

FATAL RIOT AT MAGIIERA.* f From a Belfast Paper. J We are snrry to have to state, that on Thursday last, 12th instant, at the fair of Maghera, Deny, disturbances, originat- ing in party spirit, broke out to an alarming degree. Three or four letters oil the subject have been received in town, and having been politely permitted to avail ourselves of their con- tents, we are enabled to publish the following outline of the deplorable occurrences : It appears that, about six o'clock in the evening, an mi-- mense number of Ribbonmen assembled in the town, and pro- ceeded to attack a house in which an Orange Lodge meets, and broke the windows Sec. A small party of the 77th regi- ment, consj.- ring of an ensign. Serjeant, and eleven men, at a- tinneil in Maghera, were called upon by the Rev. Mr. Colt-, hurst, curate of the parish, and acting magistrate in the absence of Mr. Knox, to endeavour to quell the riot. They accord- ingly proceeded to the scene, but were assailed with vollies of stones by the Ribbonmen, the clergyman was struck in the face with a stone, and much injured, and Ensign Elliot received a severe contusion over the eye, and was knocked down : upon which the soldier*, for the purpose of nit'midatmg the rioters, fired four shots, and retired to the barracks. The rioting con- tinued, and the windows of a/ most everv Protestant house in the town were broken. The soldiers were again called out by the constables and some respectable inhabitants ; but, on re- pairing to the spot, the officer found both parties extremely violent, and many intoxicated ; he therefore retired, with his little party, to their quarters. The fightihg and rioting con- tinuing in the most furious manner, the Ribbonmen attack- ing the houses, and tbe Orangemen, who were few in numbers, defending themselves with difficulty, were driven into the houses. Shots were lived from the windows of the Orange lodge- room on the assailants. Late in the evening, a party of' yeomanry having entered the town, from Tubbermorc, the Orangemen rallied, and, assisted by the yeomanry, charged, fired upon tbe Ribbonmen, and finally succeeded in driving them out of Maghera. ' The rioting did not entirly subside till two o'clock in the morning of Friday. The Ribbonmen suf- fered severely ; nine are known to have been killed, and be- tween 60 and 70 wounded. We have heard that one Orangeman from Castledawson was killed, and that several of that party have been severely wou ndeil. On Friday morning, a party of dragoons, from the neigh- bourhood, accompanied by a Magistrate, arrived in Maghera, and an express was dispatched to Lieutenant Douglas, who commands tbe detachment of the 77th in Castledawson. No attempt, however, to renew the disturbance had taken place when the last accounts came away. The yeomanry have been under arms night and day since the riot. The coolness and forbearance of Ensisrn Elliot seem to have been very creditable to so young an officer. Only three or four shots were fired in the directioon of the barracks ; but had the Ribddnmen succeeded against their opponents, the little party in the barracks, it was expected, would have become the next object of attack. Ensign Elliot communicated every par- ticular by express as soon is possible to Colonel M'Laiue, in Belfast, who commands the regiment. We have not beard what was the result of the Coroner's in- quest on the bodies of the unfortunate men who were shot; but it was feared that some disturbance might take place yesterday at their interment A strong reinforcement of the 77th, there- fore, under the command of a Captain and a Lieutenant, left this town at six o'clock on Saturday evening, to proceed, by forced marches, to Magbera, where they were to arrive at nine o'clock yesterday morning, ( Sunday.) A meeting of the Magistrates of the district is to take place to- morrow, at Maghera to investigate into the particulars of this lamentable transaction. We are informed, that at Magberafelt, on the same day, ( Thursday), party rioting also took place. No lives were there lost, though one man is said to have been desperately wounded with a hatchet. * Maghera is a small town about 30 miles from Belfast, and same distance from Derry. quarter having r. r. excellent r. p- pofirdnco, the demand . vn* i> iiA; and the greater part wot it Off at good prices.

To this the TTlela^ lergen re- plied, that their business was with the King tts tin in- dividual— that they had nothing to do with his allies— they reminded him of his solemn engagements— and con- cluded by telliii" hin> verv plainly, that if he wished to remain King of Wirtemherg, he must make good his promises. His Majesty threatened and remonstrated ; but Germans, although phlegmatic, are not a little tena- cious of their purpose when they believe themselves in the right; thev were inflexible, and the Sovereign, as must ever he the case in such cireumst vuces, had to succumb; but jrrievousiv mortified that he could be no longer'considered " as an absolute legitimate, he soon after died, as was said of chagrin, and his subjects bore their loss with much resignation. Thev then set about re- gulating tlie expenees of their limited . Monarchy, and hail the impudence to insist upon it, that they had and have the best King in Europe— because he is the cheap- est— hisexpences being strictly limited to thirtygmtders a day, equal to fifty sfiillingssterling. That such proceedings could not prove agreeable to the Holy Alliance was to be supposed, and they have at length marked their displeasure bv suppressing a public journal, the'Gcnmot Observer, published in Wirtemberg, by a vote of die'German Diet. No specific charge is brought against this ' Journal, nor are any extracts given, or particularly alluded to in the proceedings. " The ten. dency and spirit . of the Journal, we are told, are ofa re- volutionarttiwture. It advocates revolutionary principles, regularly and perseveringlv, and all the articles, original as. wcjhtifi borrowed, narrative, argumentative, satirical, political, serious, religions, and literary, are exclusively directed to the circuLtion of revolutionary views and doctrines." - After this sweeping denunciation, the Diet propose 50 suppress the Journal entirely, and to prohibit the Editor, M. S. G. LEISCIU. NG, from engaging for '. lie next five years in the editing of any similar publica- tion, in any of the States of the Confederation ; and the proposal is voted accordingly. But this is not all-— the Russian, Austrian, and Prussian Ministers, have been recalled, from Stutgard, asa gentle hint, no doubt, that ihe Wirtembergers are cxpectcd tore- model their Con- stitution, so as to render it more acceptable to the IIolv Allies, who appear determined to abolish the Liberty of the Press, and put down liberal institutions, as far as their power extends... In Switzerland, the liberal Journals are suppressed, and no thing is printed that has not been seen anil approved by authority in manuscript ; and all over the. Continent, the introduction of British news- papers is guarded against as much as possible. It appears indeed to, be tlie great object of the despotic Sovereigns, to keep their subjects in ignorance of the truth— and that cannot be done, even for a short time, without the pro- mulgation of falsehood, which they think expedient, and therefore warrantable. The long continuance of strong northlv winds has for some tune prevented the arrival of packets frotn Spain or Portugal, and it is needless to repeat that, until we have intelligence by that channel, we can know nothing . of the real State of affairs in Spain, it is true, that some inferences may be drawn even from the French accounts-— and these inferences afford no flatter- ing anticipations of tire final success of.' the in- vaders. The King of Spain, by the French accounts is snug in Cadiz, and twelve thousand men of the invading army are to attack a place which might well resist an armv of one hundred thousand.— Already have . the French been compelled to evacu- ate some of the minor fortresses, abandoned to them upon " their approach, and they have made not the least progress in the sieges of those strong places which thertJonstitutionalists determined to defend. It is perfectly clear, that the Spaniards calculated upon a procrastinated warfare, that they intended the invaders should be divided and spread over a great extent of country before the re- action should commence ; and con- sidering the loss of men, and expenditure of money that the invasion costs France, the plan of the Spaniards appears well adapted endeed to ensure their final success. At present, the country is inundated vsith the fabrica- tions of the i^ ourbon press, repeated by too many of the Lot> don Journals— but tbe truth must soon, come out, when rvve shall know the reasons why the Spaniards have as vet preserved their resources entire, find allow- ed their enemies to advance with very little molesta- tion. STATE OF IRELAND.— The late proceedings in Parliament, respecting the Orange Riot in tbe Dublin Theatre in winter last, have, as was anticipated, pro- duced great discontent in Ireland, and threaten conse- quences the most disastrous. It was the language of same men in high official situations, that they would give a triumph to neither party, as if the parties had been equally to blame ; but truth and justice ought ever to triumph, and these were not ranged on the side of the Orange faction. That faction, however, have tri- umphed in. what thev hold to be the acquittal of Mr. Sheriff THORM, while they eulogize the conduct of Mr A. 15. Ivisq, for refusing to answer the questions put by the Commons respecting the secrets of Orange Lodges. The Catholics, on the other hand, conceive that justice has been denied them, and speak publicly of arming for self- defence. The bloody affray in the little village of Maghera, is a proof of the sanguinary spirit that now actuates both parties, even in Ulster, hitherto considered as the best informed province, in which riots seldom occurred. Ireland is very nearly in a state <; f open rebellion, and yet the motion of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, for an inquiry into the state of that unhappy country, was negatived last week in the House of Peers, by a very large majority. SUMMARY OF POLITICS. OUR renders may recollect that, after the fata! cold that destroyed the French army in Russia, anil on the retreat in 1812, the German Potentates, thinking it now possible to do something effectual against NAPO- LEON, made the most liberal promises to their subjects of free representative constitutions, provided they would lend their aid to put down the common enemy. The Austrians and Prussians w ere assured of constitutions, at lenst as free as that of Britain— but after the battle of Waterloo, aud the restoration of Louis, the great Potentates changed their minds— and NAPOLEON being removed from the scene, no matter by what means, they immediately saw the- dangers of innovation, and found out that nothing suited their subjects so well after all, as the good old despotism. The King of IVirtemberg was, upon this occasion, ' at great pains to bring his subjects to a proper legitimate way of thinking, assuring them, that they must be slaves while NAPOLEON remained on the throne of France, consequently that it was their bounden duty to fight for their liberty ; but stiil farther promising, in vcr/ io principis, that if thev would act energetically against the tyrant, they should be rewarded with a free representative constitution, Tbe Wirtem- bergers being attached to liberty, and smarting at the time rather severely from NAPOLEON'S conscriptions and exactions, agreed to the proposals, and deserting the French armv at the bottle of Leipsic, passed over in a body to the enemy, as the Saxons also did, although without the sanction of their King— and thus decided the fortune of the day. After the peace, these honest Germans reminded their Sovereign, that their part of the agreement being now fully implemented, they ex- pected the fulfilment of his promise; in fact, thjit they should have a fair representative constitution. But they were informed, that circums'tauces were now altered— that his powerful allies did not at all approve of free con- stitiitioys— and they wene summarily enioined. to say no BEACON BOND The cause between Mr GIBSON and the Subscribers to this famous Bond, was lust week finally decided in the House of Peers, and the judgment of the Jury Court against tiie defenders affirmed. That no appeal from a sentence of the Jury Court can be entertained in the House of Lords was, from the first " institution of that Court, fully understood : and yet the LOUD ADVOCATE and SOLICITOR- GENERAL, ( re- port savs, that certain other high legal authorities in '" Scotland arc- concerned) have ventured upon such an appeal, as if they believed it competent and legal. ' 1 his Beacon has proved a most amusing concern ; aud it ap- pears quite uncertain, whether the entertainment it has afforded heaven, now at an end.

The Committee' are extremely desirous to bring this most interesting subject fairly before the public, and to divest it entirely of that party- colour nig and spirit, by w hich it ha^ s been, and is, by some persons, ( however unaccountably,') invested. The question has nothing todo with any sect or party what- ever— ttie appeal is made to Ihe common charities of our nature, to our common feelings as men, and as Christians, in behalf of a Christian people struggling in their n « tive land against Ma- htmiedail oppression— in defence of the sacred and inalienable rights of justice and of conscience— in defence of every thin that c. an render this world wonh the having, or life itself worth the preserving. The war is unquestionably a war of extermination ; and the question, whether a Christian people shall be swept from the face of the earth, without one effort to save theni ? The Coinniiit. ee do no expect largo contributions, they are quite aware that the many calls which have been lat- e'y made. e « tiie benevolorrc of il. is part of tbe country, preclude this s they trust- many will come forward, according io their means, and, remembering that ail power is founded in opinion, they took with great confidence to the moral influence which a de- claration oTthe public voice of this free country never f. iils to import, and which lies been so pre- eminently manifested, in the rase of unhappy Oreece, by the illustrious me, u of ail parties, whose names appear in her cause. The Greeks have determined " to do or die arid in this arduous and dreadful struggle, the greatest incitement, next to me conscious rectituoe of their cause, is the sympathy and approbation of the good and wise of their fellow Clnisiians.— If tliev do, the descendants of the illustrious * Men of Athens" shall yet be regenerated ; ifthey y/ if', they e ill die gloriously ; an I they may, if ever men did, look proudly to heaven from their death- bed of fame."

On the 13th of May. General MARCO BAZZARIS sur- prised the garrison, and carried the Castle of Lepanlo hy storm, with great loss to the Turks. The Christian chief was himself severely wounded in the head, for he led the stormers in person, but only ten of his brave comrades were slain. ULYSSES js aiso again in the field, al hough like the illustrious MISA be has often been killed by his enemies. He has, according to. well authenticated accounts, made himself master of Negropont, a station of the greatest importance to the Turkish fleet. Throughout the whole of the Mores the condition of the Turks is represented to be very desperate. The Pacha of Pa- trashas quitted the fortress of that name, and gone to Prevesa, with only 56 attendants, for it was hourly expected lint Ihe Greeks would take possession of this fortress itself. There is now almost a certainty that a civilized Empire will again arise in Ancient Greece, and to England it will be an important Ally, at a time when tyranny is rearing her hydra form in Europe.— Morn- Chron.

By the deduc- tion of the Legacy Duty. L. 9000 only eas payable to the In- stitution.

For this magnificent donation they feel lire utmost. gratitude, and hope that the blessings of the poor will descend on the generous donor. Roderick Mackenzie, Esq. of Glaek, in this county, has generously made deductions of IS to 20 per cent, from the rents of his tenants at this term, with the exception of those upon old leases. We state this upon the authority of a tenant, who has enjoyed the benefit of his liberality.

On Thursday the 26'. h curt, canoe on here, the Election ofa Clergyman for the Union Chapal of Ease, in place of the de- ceased Rev. DAVID SIM. Our readers are aware, that the former Election having been disputed, a reference was made to Ihe last General Assembly. That venerable Body, after a good deal of discussion, ordered a new Election to take plact?, and pointed out in their sentence those persons who were qualified to vote. A Letter was read from Mr. MENZIKS, declining his nomination as a candidate on this occasion, as he considered himself already duly elected at the former meeting, and inti- mating his intention of confirming the same in a Court, of Law. The Electors, however, not judging it agreeable to the remit from the General Assembly, that any of the Candidates should be allowed to withdraw, put them all in nomination, as oil the former occasion— namely, tbe Rev. WILLIAM ETON, from Glamir. is ; the Rev. WILLIAM MENZIES from St. Andrews; and the Rev. THOMAS DOIG. The Election having according- ly been proceeded with, Mr. LYON was elected Clergyman by a great majority— there being 165 Electors for hiin— 15 for Mr, MENZIES— and I for Mr. DOJG. On Thursday the 26tk inst. Mr. HUGH M'KENZIE, Mi- nister at Ardeonaig, Perthshiie, was unanimously elected Mi- nister of the Gaelic Chapel of Ease of tin's city. On Thursday the 26th inst. the Rev. ADAM SMITH was in- ducted Minister of the Parish of Towie, in the Presbytery of Alford. The Rev. Mr. Malcolm, Lochej, presided, and preach- ed an excellent Sermon, from Ez.- kiel xxxiii. 7. At the Wool Market held'llere last Thursda'y, as w ell as on that of the former week, the supply was rather scanty ; the fol- lowing were the current prices : English Wool, 30s. to 34s. Seoteti do. 15s. to 24s. On Tuesday night- between eleven and twelve o'clock, a fire broke out in a low building adjoining the Poor's Hospital, used by Mr. Maclean, Plasterer, for the purpose of preparing stucco. The building was nearly consumed ; but. by the timely arrival of the fire engines, the flames were prevented from spreading ; and the damage, we learn, is not considerable. Several Ser- vant Maids were observed exerting themselves in a very praise- worthy manner on this occasion. At Strichen, the 17. h inst. the Birih- day of Mr. ERASER was celebrated with every demonstration ot jay. The morning was ushered in with the ringing of bells and tiring of cannon, which continued alternately throughout the d sy. The whole tenants on Lovat's estates, in the parishes of Strkben and Fraserburgh, assembled at Morraond Village, where also were assembled, in honour of the occasion, three different Societies belonging to ihe place, who walked in procession through ihe Village, in their respective orders and insignia— with eoiotiis and band of music." ' Hie tenants afterwards sat down to an excellent dinner in the Town- hall. After the cloth was re- moved, Lovat's health, with three times three, was drank with great enthusiasm and heartfelt satisfaction ; after which, Mrs . FRASER'S. health was drank, likewise with three times three, with that sincere- respect aud esteem which she so we: 1 merits fiom the tenantry of Strichen. Many other appropi iatu toasts were given, and suitable tunes played upon the occasion. Bonfires upon the adjoining hills were kindled in the evening—. abundance of excellent porter went liberally round. The Ball afterwards commenced, tu which the younger branches ot the families of the tenantry of Strichen, and others, had been in- vited ; the dancing was carried on with much spirit and gh e until an early hour next morning, when the company paited, highly pleased and much gratified upon the occasion. On the same day, ilie Brethren of the Fraser Lodge of Free Masoua, Union Lodge, of Odd Fellows, with the Members of the Strichen Friendly Society,, feeling the highest respect for die family, and desirous to testify their esteem, and express their unfeigned joy. in some public manner, on- this memorable occasion, at one o'clock t, M. the brethren- as.-; en] blfr'b, headed by their office- bearers, and drc-, in their re.,,.-- tire" in- igr'-;. walked in processsion. accompanied with music, through the various streets of the village of Stricheu— and then retired to Webster's Inn, where a most respectable and numerous partv partook of a sumptuous and elegant dinner, prepared for tins occasion. The cloih beiiur removed, a loyal bumper was dedi- cated to the health of his Majesty, King GGORCJE the IV. when the Chairman, Mr. WII. LIAJI PaTEnso. v, of Carnichail, in a neat, energetic, and appropriate speech, proposed a bumper, ( with three times three) to the health of THUS. ALEX- ERASER, Esq. of Lovat and Strichen, which was drank with that en- thusiasm of attachment arid respect which his character so justly merits. Many other loyal and patriotic toasts we re also drank on the occasion. Our limits will not allow us to particularize the gay party, who soon after commenced dancing: suffice it to say. that it contained the Flower of Buchan, and of course equalled in brilliancy any that could be produced. A sumptuous and elegant supper was announced at 2 o'cl ick; but the Ball was afterwards renewed, nor did it break up ( i,! 5 o'clock in the morning. This ended a day aud night ot' festivity, conducted with a degree of comfort and regularity, and enjoyed wilb feelings of gratitude and enthusiasm, never exceeded. Tfie sentiments from which they originated were alike honotnablc to all, and the noble burst of genuine feeling; which was elicited, must ever he a proud and grateful recollec- tion in the mind of the ancient HOUSE of LOVAT. .

By the last French papers received, we have the important fact announced of the removal of the King of Spain to Cadis on the 12th inst. This decided measure proves the determin- ation of the Cortes to resist to the last extremity; it prov, also the extent ot their power, and thus throws d. scredit on ail the statements which the French have been lately circulat- ing respecting, that body — their resolution to enter into a Com- promise— their diminished numbeis and authority— their un- popularity, and the great probability that long ere the P encil troops reached Seville the King would be delivered from all re- straint, aud brought back in triumph to Madrid. In the face of all these confident statements, he is transferred to Cgilii." which is a decided pledge that the struggle will be continue.;. The French are. in the mean time, advancing to Seville.-- They have encountered some resistance- in the passes of ia-,., lt Sierra Morqna". • But it does not sects to have retarded the; march. By an express from Paris, we learn, that General Bou rmont was at . Majudas; and Bordesoult at tiordova, oa the Guadalquiver, having thus passed, the mountains of th « Sierra. They expected ( o reach Seville on the lidi. |) n King, however, being « reinoved out of check, the game wi. i not be finished by their poss'ession of this place. The French it appears, propose advancing to Cadiz, iir which case they will be completely extended from one extremity of the country to another, and will present a broad and ex- cellent mark for attack. Here, of course, hostilities will com- me rice op the part of Spaniards ; and whether by guerilla bands, or more regular troops, never was any army more convenient- ly disposed for destruction. The accounts from Ireland continue < y be of a most alarm- ing character ; aud it is now confidently expected that the Is- land of Misery is about to be visited with one of those periodi- cal storm-, which are there as much i; i the course of nature, as are the tremendous hurricanes that occasionally purify tha poisonous atmosphere of the West Indies. We learn from gmid authority tlmt the person sent to this country from the new Regency at Madrid, was dismissed from the Foreign Office with a mere receipt for the dispatches wbicti he delivered. He also waited o.- i tin* Spanish Minister, Ad- miral J abat, to deliver dispatches frotn the Regency, but wa> dismissed with a declaration, that Jabat knew of no such body, and could not receive the communication w hich he tendered. STOCKHOLM, June 6. — The wind is extremely favour- able, and tbe squadron with the Princca- i Royal may be c xp'C. ted every moment on our coast. The English frigate Serin- . gaptitatn arrived here yesterday with the new Ambassador, Sir li. Blootufield, who will have liisaudience of his Majesty to- morrow. We understand that a meeting of Gentlemen wiil be held at Dempsey's, Sackviife- strcet, on Monday next, at half- pa. st three o'clock, to consider upon what may be done in this City, by public meeting or otheiv, vised in aid of the Spaniards.
