The Petition to which we yesterday alluded, was presented last night to the Rouse of Commons, pray ing inquiry into the causes of commercial distress. A hint that some change in the measures resolved on respecting the resumption of cash payments, was firmly, and very properly, scouted by Lord CASTLE.. REACH. This very firmness will in itself go far to allay the apprehensions of monied men, and to in troduce order and consistency into the transactions in the money market. At the same time, Ministers seem not indisposed to pay attention to any thing rational that may be proposed for the relief of com merce. Nov there is one point hinted at by the Pe titioners, which deserves instant attention. By the , way in which the Charter of the India Company has been framed, for the sake of giving that Com pany a monopoly of the China trade, the free British merchants are not only excluded from the China trade to Britain—which is what was intended —but from the China trade to the Continent 1 which is, thereby, most absurdly thrown into the hands of other Nations, particularly the Americans. Now what is the result? From all British capital employed in this•trade (for much of it is so em ployed) there is a deduction for foreign agency; and, besides this, all the general agency profits of entrepot are necessarily transferred to the Dutch and other ports to which the vessels engaged in the trade are necessarily obliged to go. Now it is self-evident, that it would be no injury to the India Company, were the Teas that are brought to Europe, for the Continental Markets, allowed to be warehoused in England by the private traders: This would •add greatly to our commercial prOsperity, as, in this case, all the profits of naval outfit, of agency, of return cargoes, &c. would be secured to the British Mer chant, and this without the slightest injury to the India Company, instead of being forced, by the opera tion of a very absurd and improvident law, into the pockets of our commercial .rivals. This measure should be instantly adopted, nor can we for a mo- - ment believe that the India Company would oppose it : on the contrary, if they rightly view their own interests, they will support it. The Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday have ari ived, but their contents are unimportant. The accounts which we gave yesterday, from Ja maica, were brought by the packet that has been for some time missing : she left Jamaica on the 26th of October, and lost her rudder in severe weather.— We insert in our columns this day some further ex tracts relating to the ill-fortune of those who have followed the rash enterprise of that • stupid fellow M'GnEcon, with other intelligence from the Spanish Main. The following wounded Officers have reached Port Royal : Colonel Borten, of the Ist Lancers; Captains John Lafoy, Edward Graham, John I'. Conroy, and John T. Shotte, of the Regiment of Hibernia ; Captains J. Canrell and J. Cullen, and Dr. Henry Booth. Mrs. Eyre, the wife of Colonel Eyre, and two of their children, have also arrived there. This lady lost one child at Rio-de-la •Ilache, and her husband, who was sick on shore, was abandoned to his fate. Sir H. Popham very be nevolently promoted a subscription, which he headed with a donation of twenty-five pounds, for the purpose of affording some relief to Mrs. Eyre, and which amounts to nearly £3OO ! Extract of a letter from Santiago de Chile, Aug.s: 'Lord COCHRANE is expected to sail in September. One thousand troops are to be embarked,'who will act upon the coast of Peru, if not a little farther to the Northward. Rockets are preparing very fast, which makes It probable that operations will commence by an attack upon the Spanish shipping in Callao ; 150,000 dollars belonging to the Philippine Company have been captured, besides cocoa, spirits, and other articles ;"'O,OllO dol. lags, or thereabouts, in charge of Captain &rtat, a North Ame rican, were intercepted some leagues in land near Supi. The relit was taken out of a French brig. Both Captains preferred signing certificates that it was Spanish property, to proceeding to Valparaiso, to have the subject investigated. They acted wisely; for, in that case, they might have lost their vessels.— Lord C. had very accurate information concerning them; his Lordship stands higher than ever in the estimation of all ranks. Ilia decision, amidst difficulties of no common kind, has inva rial-iy turned out to he for the best. Perhaps no other man could have been able, under the disadvantages he his had to contend with, to keep up the order and harmony in the squadron, and to maintain the good understanding which pervades the navl departments; his equitable firmness, his tranquil, gentlemanly manners, and the confidence he has every where inspired, has rendered him inconceivably popular. His defying the Spanish fleet with his single frigate, tickles the fancy of the Chilese most amazingly. The O'Higgins is the dread of the Royalists, for whenever any thing is to be done, the flag-ship is always the drat and most exposed. Lord COCHRANZ has Naval Officers of the very first rate professional talents in command under him ; and, in short, the Patriot fleet is equal to any force Spain can send against it. Admiral BLANCO bas published a memoir, justifying the raising the blockade of Callao, which is perfectly satisfactory, and eons. pletely does away the unfavousablc impressions excited by the intrigues of his enemies. This Officer has, upon several great occasions, displayed the greatest gallantry, and always deserved well of his country. Every thing here is quiet and peaceable. Government is be coming tolerably rich—the army is weU enough clothed—and - people more determined and enthUsiastic than ever. Some irincipal characters, with ayew British merchants, have , upon certain conditions, to equip 6,000 men, and pro them for three months, alter their arrival in Peru. Ge . SAW niIITIN has been invited over, and if he approves of pun, it will be acted upon. The army of the Andes swore • • • ' I 1; I, • • r ; • , ' I . , Ai , ' the peoi . ' of the pi f' • ' t• ' t I i t 1 offered, viaion tt 1, neral SA 1 - i the plan I . : R r~i Q , I ' l t F to the Constitution of the United Provinces of La Plata on the 15th July. The troops bpd a_ fielclday, looked exceedingly well—were well clothed and appointed, and went through their evolution, with credit. The noble spirit of'the navy extends to these men. The conduct of the British naval force is the Pacific is (as far as it can be consistently with instructions) every way calculated to uphold the exalted opinion which is entertained of our coun trymen throughout Chill, and in Peru. The Yankees, on the contrary, stand as low u the British do high—and for why? Because their naval Commanders have openly assisted the Spaniards in Lima—because private individuals have contracted with the Vaczaor to supply him with flour, arms, &c. from Baltimore—and because several have employed themselves in diferent ways to the prejudice of the existing Government; sometimes In favour of the Carrera party, at others, of the Vic zaor. Three provinces to the northward of Lima refused to pay the tribute to the KINGS Government before Lord Com, RANII quitted the Peruvian coast. Since then, it has been reported, that a dis turbance has taken place at Arequipa, and that the inhabitants there are ripe for revolution. Lill OF Tat STANIAR NATAL FO&Ci IN CALLAO. GUNA. MINS.

The Earl of EoLlNTowae, whose death we an nounced on Saturday last, died a few days atter he !tad com pleted his 80th year. When he succeeded to the titles and estates of the Earldom of Eglintowne, he was in a very infirm state of health ; but by attention to a certain regimen, which he adopted and adhered to with a degree of firmness highly cha racteristic) of his decision, be so far recruited his constitution, as to attain to an age, at which comparatively few arrive. Ile was the son of Alexander Mentgomerie of Coilsfield, by Lilias, daughter of Sir Robert Montgornerie of Skelmorlie ; he sue ' ceeded his cousin in 17%, and married Miss Hamilton of Bour trieltill, who died in 1817. his sun, the late Lord hiontgo merle, who died in 1314, married in 1805, Lady Mary Mont sornerie, eldest daughter of the former Lord Eglintowne, and lett two sous, Hugh, who died in 1817, and Archibald, the heir to the title and estates of Eglintowne, a very promising boy of seven years of age.

Mr. Evm.vo lived in the busy and important times cf King CHARLIN I. OLIVER CAou wiLL, Cswures 11. JAMES I T. and King WILLIAM, and be early accustomed himself to note such things as occurred, which he thought worthy of remembrance. He was known to, and bad much personal intercourse with, the Kings CHARLES IL and Jaws 11. and was in the habits of great intimacy with many of the Ministers of those two Monarchs, and of the eminent. men of those days, as well amongst the Clergy as the Laity. Fo reigners, distinguished for Learning or Arts, who came to Eng. land, did not leave it without visiting him. His manners we may presume to have been'of the must agreeable kind, for his company was sought by the greatest men not merely by in viting him to their own table s , b ut by their repeated visas. to him at his own house; and this was equally the case with regard to ti Ladies, of whom he speaks in the highest style of adrni ratioA, affection, and respect. The Reply of the Marquis of Hasnocs to that part of an. Address of the British inhabitants of Madras, in 1 which they congratulate his Lordship on having re moved the Restrictions that have hitherto tied up the public Press in India. 127111117 710 M TMZ MADI4II SAZETTIC or THIg 13711 A 000117% " My removal of restrictions from the Press has been men tioned in laudatory language. I might easily have adopted that procedure from my habit of regarding the freedom of publics. Lion as a natural right of my fellow-subjects, to be narrowed only by special and urgent causes assigned. There seems no direct necessity for those injudicious shackles, but in this mea sure I have been guided by a positive and well-weighed policy. If oar motives of action are worthy, it must be wise to render them intelligible throughout an empire, one hold on which is opinion. gurther, it is salutary for supreme authority, even when its intentions are most pure, to look to the controul of pub. lie scrutiny. That Government which has nothing to disguise, wields the most powerful instrument that can appertain to so. Taoism rule; and let the triumph of our beloved country over tyranny-ridden France, speak the value of a spirit to be found only in men accustomed to indulge, and to empress their honest sentiments." THE ARMY. . - .- • • , The Regimentals'of the two Regkneuts of Royal Horse Guards, and the 10th Regiment of Hussars, are about to undergo a considerable alteration; the short jackets now worn by the former are to be dis carded, and the lacings of the latter changed. The 4th Dragoons are immediately to be equipped as Light Regiment. A detachment 0f.230 men and Officers, of the 47th Regiment of Foot, commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel CHINE, are arrived at Rochester, from Sheer ness, and will proceed to embark at Gravesend, on board the outward-bound Indiamen, appointed to re ceive them, in onler to join the Regiment, now sta tioned at Bombay. The depot of the above Regi ment is now removed from Dover to Chatham. Four Companies of the 33d Regiment of Infantry (from Portsmouth) are now quartered in Oxford, three at Abingdon, two at Woodstock, and one at Islip.— Head-quarters are at Oxford. They have an excel lent band, .and appear to be extremely well disci plined. The Commanding Officer is Major M.lN'itits. Saturday, the Officers of the Royal Marine Corps, ' at Chatham, gave a dinner to their Commandant, Major-General DESBOROUGpt on his appointment to the comniand of their division. _ _ _ _ _ Tuesday, a detachment of the 51st Light Infantry marched from Chatham to Sheerness. The number of the Inhabitants of Hamilton who enrolled themselves as Volunteers, has increased within these ten days from 70 to 120. On Friday they were formed into two companies, when they proceeded to elect their Officers, and the followitig Gentlemen were appointed : lit Company—Major D. 0. &meats., Captain-Commandant; Llcutenart IlastiVlON, younger, of Greenfield; Ensign Joan Huala, of Almada Hill. itd Company—Captain JAMS Berson, of Hollandbush ; Lieu tenant WlLLuist AMON, Sheriff-Substitute; Ensigu Wa.uan SHAM' Hamilton. To be *am —Lieutenant Joan STOMS. The Officers then appointed TrtoseAs YouNo, late serjeant in the Royal Lanai kshire Militia, to be Ser jeant-Major. This corps is composed chiefly of active young men, who are daily at drill at Hamilton Palace, and have already Made considerable proficiency. Tuesday se'nnight, the Inhabitants met at Stirling, to enrol their names, and put themselves under the command of THOMAS GRAHAM STIRLING, of Airth, the Convener of the County, wl.o, in an animated address, called on them to stand forward in defence of the laws and social order. The effect of this Gentleman's speech was electric—double the number of names were put down for service than could be accepted of at present ; and a representation has been made to Government for accepting the services of such loyal and spirited subjects. Thursday morning, his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, attended by Lieutenant-General Sir HARRY CALVERT, Adjutant-General to the Forces; Sir Wtl.- uo it BY Go RDON, Quarter-Master-General; Sir HER BERT TAYLOR, and other distinguished Military characters, had an Inspection, at York House, St.' James's Palace, of the newly invented Gun of Mr. E. COLLIER. This invention was minutely described by that Gentleman.—ft is a gun, weighing less than theordinary musket, composed of seven barrels, one of the common length, and in the same position : around it, at the breech, are six others, of about three inches only. The whole being charged, and the priming for the whole placed in the magazine-ham mer, which Preserves it quite dry, and y icids just suf ficient, and no mote, to each charge, the simple act of cocking places, successively, each of the short barrels in connection with the long one, and that of shutting the pan primes it. His Royal Highness was pleased to express his approbation of this inge nious invention, which promises to be of considerable importance. SYM PA TH Y. FROM DARWIN. The Seraph, Sympathy, from Heav'n descends, And bright o'er earth his beamy forehead bend.; • On Maiis cold heart celestial ardor flings, And showers affection from his sparkling wings; Rolls o'er the world Ids mild benignant eye, Hears the lone murmur, drinks the whisper'd Ash; Lifts the clo.'d latch of pale Mi.fortune's door, Opes the cletich'd hand of Avarice to the Poor, Unbars the prison, liberates the slave, Sheds his soft sorrow o'er the untimely grave, Points with unlifted hand to realms above, And charms the world with universal love ! O'er the thrill'd frame his words assuasive steal, And teach the selfish heart what others feel; With sacred truth each erring thought control, Bind sex to sex, and mingle soul with soul ; From Heaven, He cri,d, descends the moral plan, And gives Society to savage Man ! High on yon scroll, inscribed o'er Nature's shrine, Live in bright characters the words divine " In life's disastrous scenes to others do, " What you would wish by others done to you !" Winds! wide o'er the earth the sacred law convey—. Ye Nations hear it ! and, ye Kim's, obey ! Unbresthing wonder hush'd the adoring throng, Froze the broad eye, and chain'd the silent tongue! Mute was the wail of Want, and Misery's cry, And grateful Pity wiped her lucid eye ; Peace, with sweet voice, the Seraph-form addreseds And Virtue clasp'd him to her throbbing breast !" Lord CATHCART took his seat in the House of Lards yesterday evening. His Lordship looks re markably well, and, notwithstanding his long resi dence in an unfavourable climate, seems to incline rather to the en bon point. Yesterday morning the Judge-Advocate-General attended the Palace REGENT at Carlton-house for a 'considerable time, and took his Royal Highness's com mands upon the proceedings of several Courts-martial. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT Covs.--On Saturday morning, at half - p as two , two h ouses, recently built, fell in, and buried ii heir ruins eleven unfortunate persons, of the name of Murphy, who were not ex tricated until about four, when there were found dead, one man, one boy aged fifteen, and three young children • and two wome n , t wo men, an d two boys, dreadfully wounded.
