The Saute? Coatstmer appointed to inquire into the State of the Pauper Lunatics in the County of Muldlesex, to consider the pro priety of extending the provisions of 14 Geo. 111. e. 49. to Pau per Lunatics, and of the consolidation of all Acts relative to Lunatics and Lunatic Asylums, and of making further Provision relative thereto—have, pursuit to the Order of the House, cow * sidered the subject to them ATel red, and agreed to the follow ing Rarest: In the course of their inquiry into the state of the Pauper Luna tics of the County of Middlesex, she attention-of your Committee has been particularly directed to the treatment of the Male Paupers of the parishes of Marylebone, &. George, Hanover-square, and St. Pancras, who have been or are confined la the White House at Bethnal Green, belonging to Mr. Warburtuerhe evidence thereon is specially submitted to do consideration of the House. From the Registers of the Visitors appointed by the College of Phy-icians, and front other testimony. your Committee might in ter, that however great its defects may be, Mr. Warburton's esta blishment has hitherto beer: considered at good as the generality of licensed houses where Paupers ate received in the neighbourhood of the metropolis; but if the White House is to be taken as a fair specimen of similar establishments, your Committee cannot too strongly .r too anxiously express their conviction, that the greatest possible benefit win accrue to Pauper Patients by the erection of a County Lunatic Asylum. The Select Committee of 1815, called the attention of the House to the following abuses its the management of the houses for the reception of Lunatics: r. Keepers of the Houses receiving a much greater number of persons in them than they are calculated for; and the consequent want of accommOdatiou for the patients, which greatly retards recovery. " 2. The insufficiency of the number of keepers in proportion to the number of persons intrusted to their care, unavoidably leading to a proportionably greater degree of restraint than the patients would otherwise require. " 3. The union nf patients who are outrageous with those who are quiet and inoffensive. "4. The want of medical assistance so applied to the malady foe which "the persons are confined. " S. The detention of persons whose minds do not require confinement. " 6. The insufficiency a the certificates on which patients see I recetved intomadlsouses. " 7. The defective visitations of private madhouses, under the provision' of the 14th Gees. 111. C. 19." The evidence taken before your Committee leaves no doubt that these observations are still applicable to licensed houses where paupers are received in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, and they are appreheasive that similar abuses elsewhere prevail, as 'oo improvement has taken place in the law. It has been clearly esta blished in evidence, that there is no due precaution with respect to the certificates of admission, to the consideration of discharge, or to the application of any curative process to the mental malady. Your Committee therefore repeat, adept, and confirm, the recom mendations of the Committees of 1807 and 1815, and they trust that every effort will be made during the recess, by all rivens concerned in the control and management of their establishments, to imptuve the condition of the unfortunate lunatics committed to their charge ; and they further 'recommend, that legislative mea sures of a remedial character should be introduced at the earliest period of the neat Session. Thy have therefore In consequence prepared a Series of Propositions, which they beg to off e r as th e basis of future Legisl a ti o n. Your Committee have purposely omitted any statement of fines and penalties, conceiving such poiuts may more properly be considered when any Bill or Bills shall be introduced. Your Committee are aware that some expense may be incurred by the system of visitation they recommend, but the appropriation of the fees on licences (which might perhaps be increased) and fines levied, would defray a considerable part of such expense; and your Committee confidently anticipate that the additional sum required will not be considered of importance, when compared with the great and practical benefits to be derived front an ex tended and improved system of regulating and visiting Lunatic Asylums. I.—That it is expedient to repeal the Acts of 17 Geo. 2. e. S. 20 and 21.--48 Geo. 3. c. 96.-51 Geo. 3. c. 79.-55 Gm. 3. c. 46.-56 Geo. 3. c. 117.-59 Geo. 3. C. 127.-5 Gm. 4.

Luke's, and Bethkot hospitals, should be licensed and regulated; and that the following provisions should furnt the ground-work of such Act. lll.—That it is expedient that the.

PROM THE GAZETTE DE THANCE, DATED WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22. CORFU, Jinx 24. We know nothing precisely respecting the plan of Lord Cochrane, or the forces under his command. Ibrahim Pacha has found in all parts of the Pelopon. nesus obstacles which he did not expect, in the firmness and activity of the Greeks. He first attacked Nlepa:- pileon, the best fortified convent in Greece, and was repulsed with loss. Having afterwards marched into the territory of Ker iteas, he met with -Nikita, and Gen nsco Colocotrorsi. Their vigorous resistance defeateJ his presjects, which were to gather in thicorn and draw . off the cattle, in order to send them to Tr ipolizza, which is in distresi for p t ' o visioni. The unarmed part of the inha')i.ants retire to a distance from the toads at his approach, and all the men whom he meets with are armed. Redschid Pacha has turned towards the in• terror r f Greece; but there are there 4,000 resolute soi fiefs, to subdue whom will cost him trouble, time, and many men. The Constantinople fleet has returned for the second time to Navarino. end left the field clear for the four Greek brigs which Lord Cochrane has left to blockade the entrance of the Gulf of Corinth.—Germa n Papers. PARIS, AUGUIT 21. M. Manuel diet last night Itt the seat of M. Lafitte, The German Dirt adjourned on the 9th inst. for four Months. It will resume its sittings in January, 1823. FROSI THE CONSTITUTIONNEL OF AUG. 21. GREECE (NAPOLI), JOLT P. Since the capitulation of the Acropolis we seem more in a state of peace than of war. The courage of those who bore arms remains unbroken, and the determina tibn of the Greeks to reconquer their independence is becoming more and more deep -root d. The arrival, also, of Lord Cochrane and of General Church seems to have sealed the liberty of Greece. The prudence of General Church on the one hand, and his influence over the troops, recalls the brilliant era of our victories on land. The abilities of Lord Cochrane, and his erperi enc., will be the means of rendering the Gre:lc navy more than a match for the large Turkish vessels, and even of carrying terror into the enemy's ports. Greece is grateful to those two foreign Chiefs, oho have come to espouse her cause in a perirk of difficulty. Their presence in every place where the dangers of the coon ' try demand their assistance, reanimates the courage of the Greeks. General Church has gone to the Peloponnesus; he is about to form a camp rn the city of Calatrita, to oppose the Arabs who scour the interior of the country. On the Ist of this month we got the intelligence that the Greeks who guarded the convent of Megaspileon, at tacked and defeated a body of 1,500 Arabs, which Ibrahim Pacha had sent against them. The loss of the barbari.ins amounted to 400 left deaJ on the brow of a hill, where the Greeks had waited in ambush for them. Greece now wants only an able Chief to direct its political affairs. We wait with impatience the arrival of Count Capo d'lstria. His presence alone will rut an end to those differences so unhappy for the commits cause, in keeping our national strength divided. Not withstanding the disputes which existed in the National Assembly, it has at length agreed in drawing up a Con stitutional Charter, which is as follows: " CONSTITUTIONAL CHARTER. OF GRRECR. " In the Name of the Holy and Undivided Trinity. " Th e Greek nation, OUR convened for the third time la National Assembly, proclaims before Goo and man, by its legiti. mate deputies (stands:aims), in political ezktence and independence, and establishes the following fundamental principles as its MO. stitution : " CHAPTER 1...-01 RELIGION.
