I CITY, HALF-PAST TWELri. This is the settling day in the Consol Market, and the stock Exchange is in a most agitated state. The amount of the differences has been most extensive, and several de faulters have already spoken, although at this early hour, it is impossible to give an exact account. Some individuals, it is calculated, will be entirely ruined. The fluctuation during the Account has been about 4i per Cent. Consols have been as high as 921, and as 86. The individual who has been noticed as having speculated largely in Shares, and whose differences amounted to twenty-six thousand pounds, will, it appears, only come forward with 6,000 as a compromise, which, we understand, for want of better prospects, has been accepted. It is calculated be fore the account is wound up, very great mischief will be done. It proves a Bull account, and this party will suffer most severely. The quotation for money is now at and the price for the new account is at 861 with a desponding appearance. We have nothing at present doing in our Foreign Market, the attention of the brokers and jobbers being entirely given up to the consol settlement, and we have rarely seen so much alarm and anxiety in the winding up as that displayed in the arrangement of the present one. The business done has been of the most extensive description, and from the violence of tho variations since the last settlement, some of those who consider themselves most cunning at backing out, have been entrapped most seriously. TWO O'CLOCK. Happily, the forebodings of the early part of the day have not been realised, and the Settlement has passed over with out any defaulter being declared. Some minor adjustments have, however, been effected, and several accounts have been carried over. To-morrow is the pay-day, and anxiety is yet felt for its passing over. Money has been in great request, and 4h to 5 per cent. has been the common rate of interest. Consols for Account are at 861. The speculators are directing their attention to the new Dutch Loan of 20,000,000 guilders, which we learn, by the Rotterdam accounts, was expected out at a premium two per Cent. The terms are considered tolerably favourable, all circumstances considered. We have nothing of any moment doing in our Foreign Securities. Somo rather heavy sales of Spanish Stock have had the effect of causing a decline in these Bonds to 211, with a tendency for further decline. Russian Bonds are I )6i to 97, and Brazilian 63/ to 64. The duty on foreign what has risen is. per quarter. It is now 245. Bd. CITY, lIALF : PAST TWO. Consols may be quoted at present at 86i for this time ; Q6a for next. No defaulters are announced up to the present time ; but it is feared there will be several to-morrow. THE KING'S COURT. BRIGHTON, OCT. 13.

That disagreeable tragedy, The Grecian Deadlier, was performed last night to a very full house, with the same cut of characters as during the last season. Of the acting of the tragedy we need only say, that it was marked by the same energy on the pan of its chief per. turners, but that it is in itself one which almost necessarily induces mune of that lengthy emphasis which we have before had occasion to regret in Miss F. Kxuat.x. Notwithstanding this defect she exhibited still enough to call for the warm applaules of the audience. The farce of Teddy lie Tiler followed ; and if the house had been before almost overwhelmed with the monotony of the tragedy, which nothing hut excellent acting can in any way redeem, they were amply repaid for their patience by the truly spirited and natural per formance of Puwza, in his character (for it is all his own) of the Tiler. From beginning to end peals of laughter echoed through the house ; and his last appeal to the audience, for their smiles on the efforts of Teddy the Tiler, was answered in a manner which showed that he had ' put all present on equally good toms with themselves and him. Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, the Talbot steam 'acket sailed from Brighton for Dieppe. Among the passengers was bord Pahaerston. His lordship's carriage and hones were also on .ioard.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE "ADDRESS or Tax OFFICERS or THE BURGHER GUARI AT ROTTERDAM. " Fellow Citizens !—.Our dear native country is threatened. Bel gium, having shaken off all just and legal authority, is aiming itself; soon will Brussels try to bring the theatre of war on our frontiers, to get rid of the tumultuous and rapacious body of men from whose presence and insubordination it fears destruction. " For this reason the rebellious, so styled self-created Provisional (io vernment, are going on to organize an army, consisting of deluded in furiated men and foreign adventurers. Their infamous newspapers are setting forth every falsehood, and with a hellish spirit impose on the Belgians, solely to spur them on with hatred and vengeance. Our own preservation compels us to arm ourselves for a speedy and powerful re sistance ; the father of our country is calling up every man able to bear arms, and let it be said, for the honour of Holland, how energetically that call is answered. " From all quarters volunteers are coming forward ; young teen of the first families of our city set the example, and are ready to march. " But although many of our citizens out of the humbler spheral of life are panting to join the former, yet they are painfully withheld by the idea that by their departure their dearest relations would be left unprovided for. " And can you, fellow-citizens, hesitate one moment to provide for them and their families ? No ! it is to you, whom Providence has bleated with ample means, that we direct our petitions. " Bring liberal donations to the altar of our country. Give the courageous but poor citizen the satisfaction, that while he is fighting the battles of the good cause, his wife and children are not pining away in poverty. "To obtain this end we present to you a subscription paper, which we trust will be filled in liberally. •• signed by order of the Officers of the Burgher Guard at Rotterdam, " 1. BALLOT, Major. • " A. BOOAERS, Captain. "J. C. B. MOENS, First Lieutenant. " Rotterdam, Oct. 5, 1830. " P.S. We learn that shunsr subscriptions arc making for the poor citizens in every town in the United Provinces." ~ ROTTERDAM, OCT. 11. " His Royal Highness Prince Frederick has directed that the whole of the infantry in active service shall be placed under the command of Lieut.-Gen. Cort-Heyligers ; that Major-Gcn. the Duke of Saxe Weimar shall have the first division under his orders, the first brigade being under his own immediate command, and the second under Col. Reuther ; that Major-Gen. Favouge is to have the third brigade; and finally, that Lieut. Gen. Trip Van Zoutland shall have under his orders the cavalry division, consisting of two brigades, commanded by Major-Oen. Post and Major-Gen. Boreel ; and that the artillery shall continue under the command of Col. List. In consequence of these orders, Lieut.-Gen. Cort-Heyligers and Major-Gen. Favouge have established their bead. quarters at Mechlin; Lieut.-Gen. Trip and Major-Generals the Duke of Saxe-Weimar and Post, Colonels Reuther and List theirs at Antwerp; and Major-Gen. Bored his at Waarlos. " It appears that Liege and Ghent do not quite concur in opinion with the Provisional Government on the form of government to be chosen for Belgium. In these two towns, it is believed that a re. public--even a federal one—ls not a form of government in any way befitting Belgium. The Prince of Orange's proclamation has pro duced a favourable impression at Ghent and Louvain. At Ghent, in particular, there are many vrell.disposed persons, who anxiously desire a change of affairs and the restoration of order. " A number of officers, natives of the northern provinces, and chiefly belonging to the 16th division of Infantry, which formed the garrison of Ypres, after being abandoned by their troops, received a notice that they must leave the town. Having dressed themselves as civilians, they commenced their journey with the view of reach. tog the northern provinces as speedily as possible. On the follow ing day, however, they were stopped by a Burgher Guard, and con. veyed as prisoners to Bruges." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Ws have received the Paris Morning Journals of Tuesday last, and the Manager des Chambree and Revolution, dated yesterday (Oct. 13.) The former contains not a single paragraph worth extracting, being filled prindpally with news from Brussels, received and given lux before it reached Peg& PRIVATE COI ICE OF TIM REVOLUTION. STocunotat, SEPT. 21.—" The Prince of Moskva, sent to ac quaint the King of Sweden with the calling to the throne of Louis Philippe, is here this week past, and had as yet no audience from Ber nadotte. This delay no doubt proceeds from the Prince still being in the service of Sweden, and of course bound by the oath of allegiance to the king. It was only yesterday that his cone, could be given him. We were not a little surprised to see the tricolour flag which was hoisted at the French Embassy taken down the following day. It will no doubt re-appear after the reception of the Prince of !doskowa, who enjoys at Court the most flattering consideration. We are positively assured that Nicholas has acknowledged the new order of things in France, and that he has written with his own hand a letter to the King of the French, as friendly to his person as it is honourable for the nation." CHAMBER OF PEERS, OCT. 12. At two o'clock, the President, Baron Pasquier ' took his seat. The Paziumis gave notice of a letter th at he bad received from the Auorney.Gerreral, in the case of M. Kergorlay, for a libel against the Government. The Chamber, said he, cannot take cognizance of that letter, unless it be constituted into a Court of Justice; and the Committee to which it was referred was of opinion that I should write to the Minister of Justice, to acquaint him with the Chamber's incom. -petency. N. MALLzetu.s then made a report on the project of law pre. sented to the Chamber of Peers by the Duke of Broglie on the 4th inst. This law has for its object the modification of the 2d article of the law of 26th March, 1822, for the repression of offences of the Press, of which the tenour follows: " Every attack against the Royal dignity, the order of succession tol the throne, and the rights which the King olds from his birth, those in virtue of which be gave the Charter, his constitutional authority, the inviolabilit of his person, the rights or authority of the Chamber, shall be punish ed by an imprisonment of from three months to five years, and a fine of from 300 to 8,000 francs." The Reporter said that this article was In some measure abrogated by the Charter of 1830. He afterwards examined the various dispositions of the law, and proposed its adoption as follows: ' Art. Every attack made, by one of the means mentioned in the first Article of the law of the 17th May, 1819, against the Royal dig. nity, the order of succession to the throne, the rights which the King holds from the choice of the French nation, expressed in the declaration of Aug. 7th, 18.10, and the Constitutional Charter accepted and sworn to by him on the 9th of August of the same year ; his Constitutional authority, the inviolability of his person, the rights and authority of the Chamber, shall be punished by an imprisonment of from three months to five years, ard by a line of 300 to 6,00 u francs. Art. 2.—" The second Article of the law of March 25th, 1822, is abrogated." The Chamber ordered the revision and distribution of the report, and decided that the discussion should take place on Thursday next. The President then reminded the Peers that the delay of one month fixed to receive the oaths of the Peers residing in Paris was expired, but that other delays existed for those who were in the departments and in foreign countries; he asked the Chamber did it with to be furnished with a printed list of those who bad already taken the oath, or wait tifi he could draw up a definitive list, after the expiration of all the delays ? The Chamber decided that it would wait until the definitive list could be made out. The President then read the law regulating national recompenees adopted by the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday last. The sitting was here suspended for a while, when M. Oulsot,Minister of the interior, communicated to the Chamber the law regulating the importation of corn already adopted by the Chamber of Deputies, and several other laws of mere local interest. From Le Temps of Tuesday. Teas= ita.—We hue been informed that the Regency has just ne gotiated with the house of Moberly and Co. a loan of one million ster ling. Its intention is to commence immediate operations for the over throw of the usurper, the establishment of the Chaster, and to place the young Queen on the throne. All the Portuguese emigrants participate in tbe views of the Regency. They are eonfidut of being able to show in the face of all Europe that the protection of the English Government alone, and the want of any navy, bare been heretofore the causes which have retarded the downfall of the tyrant. ((Iron the Nations, of the same date.) The Count d'Espages, according to letters from Rs:alone, has not been able to raise more than 3,000 men to march towards the * . ftrenen. General Monet and General Camila are nadir his ammint The mules belonging so the people of Laaboorden have ban engaged to convey his artillery. The above louses are of the Ist of October. The arrests directed by the Count d'Espagne before his departure continue to be put into exe.cution. The:Count d'Espagne has given the name of Catholic Royalists to those volunteers which have joined him. A letter front Toulon, of the sth Oct. states as follows :—" Three thousand five hur.dred of the army, composing the African expedition, ate about to re.eno.r France, and a daren ships of war and transports have been ordered to convey them. " The motive alleged for this measure is, that there exists considerable difficulty .in finding provisions for a large army in a country which is nut wholly under our control, and the obstacles of the winter season will prevent the po•sibility of increasing the army. It is therefore proposed to reduce it to 12 or 15,000 men at most. " A telegraphic despatch has just notified to the brig Ducouedie (lately arrived from a mission to Naples) to return again to Algiers. The above vessel will carry out instructions from the Government to General Clause), and vehicle, we are informed, relate to the evacua tion of Africa by a part of the French army." It appears that disturbances of rather a serious description broke out at Montauban on Sunday, and that they continued during the following days. It is said that one man was killed. We have no positive in. formation to lay before our readers: all we know is that a baits. lion of the 56th regiment of the line, which was on the march from Bordeaux to Toulouse, and which was to quit Castelsarrasin on Mon day in order to enter our city with as little delay as possible, has received orders to change its route, and march for Montauban. The 6sd regi ment set out yesterday for Bayonne. The National Guard (both horse and foot), with a band of Music at their head, accompanied the above regiment a short distance out of town.—Mensorial de TOW louse. The Grand Orient of Flare! being anxious to offer a testimonial of the homage of the Freemasons to the King, the patron of the citizens and the model of all good fathers, has directed, under the auspices of the Marshal Duke de Tarentv, that a national fete shall be given at the Hotel de Ville. Upon this occasion It is intended to celebrate the ac cession of Louis-Philip to the Throne of France, as likewise the glorious' days of July last. General Lafayette, and other high personages, will be present, and they will convey to his Majesty the sincere sentiments of regard which all Freemasons entertain for his Majesty. The Masonic Lodges will all send a deputation to this fete. We have been informed that a Loan for the Spanish refugees was on the point of being negotiated last week, and was only retarded in con sequence of the signatures of Generals Mina and Rapes, and the Mem bers of the Junta at Bayonne, not having been put to the necessary do cument. It is believed chat the name of Mina, whose cleverness and discretion are well known, would be a sure guarantee not for the success of the loan, but also of the punctuality of regenerated Spain. The following are the conditions upon which it appears this loan is to be based. Thirty thousand shares of 200 piastres each will be issued and isigned by the Spanish agent. Each share will bear interest at to rate of five per cent. per annum, payable every six months. These shares will be divided into three series of 10,000 each. and marked A 11 C, all to be paid off in.three years, that is:to say, one series in each year. The repayment of the different series will be determined by ch-ince. Each of the three will be represented by 30 numbers in the Royal Lottery of France. No steps will be taken for siding any the establishments of the Con stitution, until proper measures have been adopted for the repayment of this loan, and one of the first conditions is, that these shares shall be re ceived In all the public banks of Spain, at their nominal value. (From Le Atoniteur of Tuesday.) On the Bth of the present month, the King received, in a private audience, M. Rumpff, who presented to his Majesty letters appointing him resident Minister at the Court of France of the free Hanseatic cities of Hamburg, Bremen, and Lubeck, and of the free city of Frankfort. On leaving the King's presence, M. Rumpff was pramtei to the Queen, and Princes and Princesses of the Royal family. An ordinance, signed by the King and the Minister of Finance, states that as the law of the 2bth March, 1817, authorises the sale of 150 hectares of forest land, applicable to the sinking fund, it is or. dalned that the sale of the quantity remaining to complete the 150 hectares shall take place. Another ordinance states, that it being required by the Ist and 2d articles of the law of the 31st August, 1830, Ist. That all public func tionaries, officers of the army and navy, shall take the following oath : 1 .—." I swear fidelity to the King of the French, obedience to the Con stitutional Charter, and to the laws of the kingdom." 2. That they shall take the oath within 15 days from the promulgation of the law, in default of which they shall lose their offices ; and several not having taken the oath, they are dismissed, and others appointed in their stead. The Morsileur then contains a long list of Judges, and other legal of& Olt% who have taken the oath, who are re-appointed, together with the dismissal of those who have refused to take the oath. From the Cowslip! j Tuesday. PARIS, OCT. 12.--Yesterday at the review by General Lafayette, Dourlle, one of the battalion of La Meese, came from the ranks, and harangued the General in these terms :—" Permit me, General, in the midst of the universal delight which your presence occasions, to express, in particular, the joy which I feel. lam the last soldier of the army which you commanded, and which you addressed, on being forced to quit us in Sept. 1792. This painful remembrance is obliterated when I think of the triple alliance which you now form with Philippe I. and the tri-coloured Rag." The General, with his natural affability, shook the ehasseur by the hand, and told him that be was glad to meet with one of his old comrades. A citizen of Besancon has been arrested, and is this moment hr cus tody upon a false charge, which, were it true, would not excuse the' agent of the police, the author of the arbitrary act, against which M. Aleulette raises the most just complaints. The police found in his pos., session the fragments of two numbers of a new Journal, La Rego/Wien; they collected the fragments and reproached M. /lenient with corres ponding with the editors of this Journal, and having furnished them with the article inserted in No. 98, and exhibited, or caused to be exhi. bated, a number upon the walls of the principal streets of Besancon. The editors assert that M. Meulette never corresponded with them, and did not furnish the article in question. Again, were this accusation as well founded as it is groundless, it neither could justify the appearance of the police at the re sidence of M. aleulette, nor the examination he was made to undergo, nor his arrest and detention in the prison of the city. Tile frequent repetition of these acts too fully justifies those complaints which we re ceive every day from all quarters of the conduct of the agents of Charles X. now in the employment of the Ministers of Louis Phillippe. Count Rene de Bouille, who was charred to notify to the Hanoverian Govern., ment the accession of his Majesty, Louis Philippe, to the throne of France, has quitted Hanover after having fulfilled this mission, and proceeds to Cassel. Count Latour illaubourg, Secretary of Le gation at Hanover, has left London to undertake the office ot Secretary to the French Embassy. ...The King of Prussia's brother, appointed Governor of the Rhenish Provinces, and of Westphalia, will be accompanied by many civil and military functionaries, amongst *whom we remark, General Count Nestle ; and Sannewite Councillor of State. He will reside at Muhl, between Cologne and iloon. Two Princes of the blond will, there. fore, reside in the Rhenish Provinces. The deposition of Charles the Tenth has created a great sensa tion In Greece, as it is feared that the great c%ems which may re sult from it will lead to the abandonment of this country to itself. A catastrophe is feared, which would bring about all sorts of ma. fortunes. In the Mores a party is formed in favour of a republic, who clamour for the dismissal of Capo d'lstrias, because he openly defends the monarchical principle, and opposes institutions which would not be otherwise than injurious to a people of a character at once vita. lent, passionate, and frivolous, and yet in the cradle of civilisation. On the other hand, the President appears to enjoy the greatest confidence amongst the superior and influential classes. A great contest appears inevitable, and it is to be feared that Greece will become the prey of the most frightful anarchy, or of the Turks ' unless the mediating Powers promptly interfere. The English Ambassador, Sir Robert Gordon, has frequent conferences with M. de Ribcaupierre, and as the French Am bassador does not take a part in them, it Is concluded that either he is about to leave his post, or that the relations between France and the other Powers arc not on the sane footing as before. Tahir-Pacha, who had been charged with a mission to Algiers, has returned to Concanti. nople, and has been received by the Grand S;gnior. Count Diebitsch-Sabalkanslii is ill at Berlin. From the Journal des Debate of the above dale. A letter from Stockholm of the 2341 of September. states that the King uf Sweden has received the notiticAt ion of Louis- Phillip's accessiou to the throne of trance, and has sent new credentials to Al. le Comte de boevenherlem, his Minister at this Court. The Chamber of Peers will meet to-morrow, for the purpose of re. eeiving a communization from the Govettt.t6ent upon:several projects of law adopted by the Chamber of Deputies. Amongst these projects is one which gives the AliniAter of the Inge:joy a credit of 30 millions for the support of commerce and national industry. The Commission employed in examining the request of the King's Procureur, relative to including the name of M. Hergorlay in the prosecution against the Quo/kaoline and the Gaulle de France, will make its report at the same sitting. It was 'marked at the last sitting of the Chamber of Peers, that the Duke of Orleans declined making use of the privilege of voting under age with the other Peen, a right attached to Princes of the Blood. This circumstance is of importance, inasmuch as it is a positive re fusal on the part wf the Prince to act as Judge in the psweeedinp against the ex-Ministers. The funds bad fallen early on Tuesday, but they recovered a little ere the close of business.

TIMES. —The only chance which the family of Nassau now possesses of recovering their bold over the southern provinces, depend.. upon the concilistory disposition of the Prince of Orange, and the 1 , ...111ing good sense of the Belgic people.

But, without foreign aid, such a result —latnentable at btot—wetiltl be impossible. Hence we are told of the iiterference of the parties to the treaty of London; and one Mornirg Paper of yesterday had actually introduced a whole army of P t ussiars to a tt a ck Mussels by three dif ferent routes. It was rather surprising that nobody had ever heard of this clandestine movement till the new. readied London; and it wis hardly fair in his Prussian 31ajesty thus to l andwink his allies in acting to steal a march on de Potter and Co. All Lurope ought to have b:eti ap. prised of the intended invasion ; and the new levies of France should has, ' got a little time to prepare their unifornis, and to go through their first exercises. But, jesting apart, we tti..) safely say, that no ground exists at present for such an apprehension or war. The Prussian Go. verntnent is fully aware of the disposition of France to prevent info. ference:on the part of other Powers, as the cortittion and consequer.cc tit a sgsteni of self-deeial which she imposes on her:lf. Nothing cot he more satisfactory or tranquillizing than the uniforn declarations of Cr. Ministry, of the Chambers, and of the press of France, against atty design or desire of intervention on their part; and we rely on good sense and avowed principles of other Governments to give France no pretext for departing from her pri;.1;:;:t and sincere engage ments. TIMES.—The Parisian common people—the ca vet:st, as well as the most susceptible people in the world--have seen throng!' hu mane hoax attempted to be practised on their generosity to save the ex. Ministen from their vengeance, and thus deprive them of the spectael: of a Ministerial execution. The King, the Court (if ere can speak of t'te Court of a Citizen King,) the Cabinet, the Cliam'acts, and dot uppe • classes of society, appear anxious to save the culprits f'rom the ext:eme rigour of the law, seeing in their apprehension a eaurse of embar rassment, in their trial a case of difficulty, and in their certain con demnation a subject of regret. They therefore took advantage of the proposition of M. de Tracy—a proposition made two years ago without success—to introduce a resolution to abolish the punishment of death for political offences. The scheme was opper timely introduced and dexterously pursued. Petitions:were obtained frout ' individuals who had been wounded by the orders of Polignac in the glorious days of July, praying the Chamber to free the penal code fruet ankles which would affect the life of that guilty minister; and Genetal Lafayette made two or three speeches for the same ptirpose. Magis trates and military officers joined in the rtconnitendmian ; and, at last, the King himself, on the address of the Chamber, has say clitued, by the meatus concurrence of his opinion, the decision of the Chamber. Still, neither the reaction of the King, the petitions of the wounded, the speeches of favourite orators, row the una nimous voice of the Deputies, has satisfied the people that any tiling else was intended than a surprise upon their feelings of mercy. They exclaim, why change the law at this particular moment, when a trial hi which we are interested is about to commence ? If the law was bad, why was it not changed before, re why not wait to change it till calmer moment for the discussion ankle ? If these men after being condemned are thought objects of mercy, let the Royal clemency be ex ercised for their pardon t but do not vote their pardon beforehand by a kind of juggle on our feelings. To this reasoning there can scarcely be any reply which would pot impeach the disposition of the populace fur blood, or the weakness of the (lovernment in exercising the prerogative of pardon. HERALD—" It is reported," says a cotemporary • "that Sir June. Searlett will be raised to the Bench previously to the meeting of Parlia ment.' We do not believe any such thing. To say nothit.g of the unpopularity of such a step to an Administration not already over. bounding in the opposite commodity, there is, in fact, no judicial office vacant which an Attorney-General is in the habit of taking. But a stronger proof that the Learned Gentleman himself has no such expectation, arises from the fact, that he la.st week stood a contest for the Recordership of Guildford., in which, to be sure, be was de feated, there being for the successful candidate, ticorge Chapple Nor. ton, Esq. 19 ; for Sir James Scarictt, 16. This, though nothing more than a struggle between conflicting interests in a borough, will be taken by some as ominous of the want of that commodity in certain quarters to which we have above alluded. Why does the Duke of Wtilington allow his subalterns to carry on these little unsuccessful contests of th, it own, in which the credit of his Administration is cornpromis.d without as in this ease, the slightest countervailing advantage. Csnowici.E.—ln the present number of The Quarterly Riving, we have an article on the Decline of Science in England, which fur. nisbes an admirable illustration of the waking of an aristocratical Government. " Of all the kingdoms of Europe (says the Reviewer) France is undoubtedly the one in which the sciehtitic establishments have been regulated by the most enlightened and liberal principles, and in which science is most successfully cultivated." For Scientific and Literary Establishments, 103,7911. is annually voted by the Go vernment. " Nor," says the Reviewer, "in her generous care foe the respectability and comfort of her scientific men, has France overlooked the most powerful stimulus of genies and industry. All the honours of the State have been thrown open to her philosophers and literary cha racters. The sage and the herodeliberate in the state ; they are associated among the Privy Councillors of the King; they bit together In her House of Peers, and In her Chamber of Deputies ; they bear th,• same titles; they are decorated with the same orders, and the arm and the mind of the nation are thus indissolubly united for its glory, or for i-s defence." Let us turn to Aristocratical, Oligarciud England. " While (says the Reviewer) the mere pox.esrion of animal ez uraga (which, of course, a well-fed Aristocracy, in a temperate country like this, can hardly fail to possess,) one of the most common qualities of the 'pecks has been loaded with every variety of honour, the pos sessor of the highest endowments of the mind; be whom the AminosrT r has chosen to make known the laws and mysteries of his works; he who be. devoted his We, and sacrificed his health and the interests of his family, in the most profound and ennobling pursuits,—is allowed to live in poverty and obscurity, and to sink into the grave without one mark of the affection and gratitude of his country. And why does England thus persecute the votaries of her ecier.ce 1 Why does she depress them to the level of her hewers of wood and her drawers lof water. It is because science flatters no courtier, mingles in no Is ' litical strife, and brings up ro reserve to the 31iunter, to swell his triumph, or break his fall. She is persecuted because she is yin:se:us ; dishonoured because she is weak." " England's liberality to Newton." be elsewhere observes, "is the only striking instance whist we have been able to record, because it is the only one in wh.ch.the houuur re a title w. a combined with an adequate pecuniary reward." No, under an Ari.tw. erotical Government, high-born t:unces require too much cramming to leave any thing for science. In our large N&.ey Ministers could find 14. one to relieve poor Gambier. who was obliged to remain at seer 10.. g after his health was shattered. Whoever reads his life, will see wire tis meant by Parliamentary influence. High as our taxation is—ereur Ire as our foreign possessions are, and kept up set an enormoos cost to t! country—all Is too little to enable us to have tile proud dietinctirn of A rich and proud Aristocracy. Our army is composed of the very drept of society, because it is necessary that an impassable gulph shouklexist between the soldiery and the officer.. Our Navy once allowed a err al,. range of promotion to the sailors ; now the nigher., promotion is t ...t lof boatswain. Greedy, greedy Aristei:raey ! A whole name nitc.t tae degraded for the sake of pampering you Ever since the boruegii-mooger ing aristocratical system of Government coeumenced, which was at tee, Revolution, Parliamentary influence has of course obtained every thing disposable. It is recorded of the celebrated Doctor Halley, tier: when consulted by Queen Caroline, who was a lover of scienc., as to co. larging his salary as Astrunorner-Royal, be ea:assay dissuaded bee; for were it increased. he said, it would instantly be given to one of the aristocracy. Nothing escapes them where money is to be had. It is gratifying, however, to perceive, !but even in works patronised by the aristocracy, honourable and virtuous sentlinnts will sometimes find a place. In no country have the attempts to degrade and corrept—to root Oat all generous and noble sentiments, been ou germane as in Eng I land; bat still sto difficult is it to regress the aspirations ID well-roc. &dieted minds after a better state of things, that the suggestions of pro_ donee will st times be that:l;4E44d.
