The same observation will apply to the Duke ci Barmen, Earl Guar, and the venerable Earl Frtown.t.taw, As supported the amendment. The Duke of Wer.uscrou, dm in Administration, approved of the Resolutions for amend s the Corn Laws, proposed by the Earl of Lavgaroot., and wan at a loss to know what circumstance has since occurred bigots his Grace to change his opinion. From all parts of the gentry we have the most satisfactory assurances that there is an l 'creasing demand for our manufactures. Foreign orders are ar- riving daily, and the demand for them at the late Leipsic Fair pre• rents a cheering prospect to our manufacturer!. It ix sißfortunate ita moment after their depression, when they are reviving, that my motion should be carried in either House of Parliament talon hied to raise the price of grain,which regulates the price of all sorts dprovisions. If the latter become exorbitantly dear, as in fact *are at present, the wages of operative artisans and others must he increased, to afford them a fair remuneration for their labour, aaithen we dull not be able to cope with our rivals in Foreign Markets, who will be able to undersell us. The Resolutions pro. pied by the Earl of Lregaroot were calculated to serve the public without injuring the Proprietors of Land, or the Agriculturists, oho really appear so short-sighted, that with respect to the Corn Inn, they are blind to their own interest. The letters this morning from the Continent specu late with increased confidence on an approaching rup ture between Turkey and Russia. A letter from Bras :els, after announcing the passage of a Russian courier through that City for London, says, it was immediately reported that the Emperor NICOLAS, tired of the eva- Was lithe Poste, had at last decided upon having re mise to arms, and that, in addition to his other pre- Pulliam, a considerable naval armament was getting Rapt Cronstadt. We shewed yesterday the credit we attach to these speculations. It appears by accounts received this morning from Paris, that the Duke of SAN CARLOS, for whom former Uvices had reserved the first place in the councils of his Catholic Majesty, has been actually appointed Spanish Ambassador to the Court of France. We learn from the same accounts, that the state of Catalonia is becoming every day more alarming. Two patties, as opposed as possible to one another, ate deso lating that province, whilst it is represented as a pro. blem, whether the royalists or constitutionalists are the more implacable enemies of the existing order of things? There is probably much exaggeration, if not downright misrepresentation, in this statement. We received this morning the Austrian Observer to the 27th ultimo. It quotes letters from Constantinople, by the way of Bucharest, of the 7th ultimo, which merely state that the SULTAN had been obliged to levy a new tax, for the purpose, no doubt, of meeting the extraordinary exigencies of the war. The Empero r an d E mpress o f A USTRIA arr i ve d at Vienna on the 26th, from their summer palace at Laxen. burg, for the purpose of giving some audiences, and re tuned the same evening. It is said that the Archduke CLIAILLS Will go to Berlin with his Consort in the course the present month, but whether for pleasure or husi sess,isnot mentioned. The former may be the ostensible, and the latter the real motive—particularly as the Austrian Government appears to be somewhat alarmed It the negotiations pending at Constantinople. This, hoverer, is mere surmise. Metalliquel, 90 7.16.—8ank Shares, 1067. Welke received this morning the Algemeine Zeilung the3lst ult. but it does not contain any political in tillitnce whatever. It appears from an article ur.der the head of Darpat, that Pi ofessor &rant's, Director of t the Observatory of that University, has recently givenl an account of all the discoveries which be has already been enabled to make by means of the great refracting telescope of FEAUENHOPER. Two years ago, his cata logue of double stars amounted only to 440, and he now enumerates 3,063 in the not them hemisphere alone. Many of these double stars, says the Learned Professors consist of owe than two. It is stated under the head of Geneva, 25th May, that a young German from the Duchy of Baden, had arrived there on his way to join the Greek fleet, in which he holds the rank of Captain, being the only European who has attained a similar distinction. Last year he returned home on a visit to his family; and, if the account which is here given of him he correct, we think the Greeks will have no cause to rejoice at his re-appearing amongst them. His description of their situ ation is very disheartening, which, consiJer ing his long absence, and the commission he holds in their service, is a proof at once of his surpass. ing modesty and overflowing zeal. The nation is so 'worn out by its exertions, that, unless it can accom plish the great work of its independence in the present ' year, it must succumb. He has great confidence in the exertions of Lord COCHRANE, qualified however, by his knowledge of the people, who are " quite exhausted, and who do not dissemble that their fate must be shortly decided, whilst they ate prepared for tie worst." At the same time, he highly panygerizes the character of the nation, but of the chiefs he speaks with ineffable contempt. This young German, who speaks so dog matically of the present state of Greece, notwithstand ing his long absence, set out on the 25th ult. for Genoa to embark foi his destination, and we have only one wish, that when he lands, his despondency may not in fect the people, whose ranks he is going to rejoin. Frankfort Papers to the above date have in like manner reached us, but they do not contain a single article of general interest. The Paris Papers, which • have arrived in due course, will be found, upon re ference to oar extracts, to be fully as uninteresting. It is reported to-day in the City, that a Board of In quiry has been sitting for some time to investigate some case of alleged delinquency in one of the public De• partments. As neither the name of the delinquent, nor of the Department, is mentioned, we hope there is no truth in the rumour. Mr. CROTCH, the King's Messenger, was sent off yes terday morning, from the Foreign-office, with dispatches for St. Petersburgh. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mr. Camino", in Downing-sweet. which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Portland, the Mar quis of Lansclown, the Marquis of Anglesey, the Earl of Har rewhy, the Earl of Carlisle, Me. Canning, Mr. Secretary Bourne Viscount Dudley and Ward, Viscount Goderich, Viscount Pal merston, Lord Bexley, Mr. Huskissos, Mr. Wynn and Mr. Tierney. The Ministers met at two o'clock, and continued in de-_ liberation foe upwards of two hours. The Lords of the Privy Council had a Meeting yes. terday at the Connell Office. The Lords present were the Lord President, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Colchester Lord Bexley . , Lard Payola, the Lord Chief Justice of the Colchester, of King s Bench, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Sir John Nichol!, and Sir Gore Ouseley.--Their Lordships sat between two and three hours. Tuesday was the birth-day of the Duke of CUMBER LARD, when his Royal Highness completed his fifty-sixth year. The Duke of GLOUCESTER had a grand dinner party yesterday, at Gloucester House. The Duke of BEDFORD entertained a distinguished party at dinner yesterday, at his house in St. James's-square. Lady SMITH entertained a select party yesterday evening, at her house in Piccadilly. The Duke of NOSITHM4II/NLAwn gave a grand dinner yesterday, at Northumberland House, to a nanterous party et Nobility and Gentry. Tuesday night, the Duchess of WELLINGTON was in her box at the Opera, with two of her children, dressed in allusion to their father's military fame, in scarlet jackets, trlbuned with silver, en milloire. One child was about six years of age, and the other about four; and both appeared remarkably pretty, intelligent, and vivacious; whilst the Lady was absorbed in her affections. After the Divertissement, the Duke appeared in the house, and sat with the Duchess, and caressed the children for about five minutes, when his Grace repaired to a side-box, where Ise remained during the whole of the Ballet. Sunday evening a letter was received by the Chief Magistrate of Greenock, from the Right Hon. W. &mean Baollll2, Secretary of State for the Home Department, acquainting him that the Loyal Address of the Inhabitants of Greenock had been pre sented to his MAJESTY, and which he was pleased graciously to re. wive.--Greasock Advertiser. The following is a copy of Mr. Pales reply to the ,Magistrates, Gentry, Clergy, and other inhabitants of the city and county of Hereford: Jove 4, 1827. " Gairressimi—/ hays had the honour of receiving from the bands of Sir John Cotterel, one of the Representatives of the county of Hereford, the Address which was adopted at a public meeting at Hereford, on the 64th of May. "It is very gratifying to me to be assured by a large and most respectable Body with whom I have no local connection—to whom I stand in no relation which can unduly influence their judgment, that they render full justice to the motives which have induced me to retire from the Councils of my Sovereign. " I relinquished my office because I felt satisfied that my reten tion of it, under the arrangement which was proposed for the re construction of the Government, would disable me from taking with effect that part which I bad uniformly taken on a greet pub'. die question, and would justly subject me to a suspicion, wldeh Is most disparaging to the character of public men, that I had becosse Indifferent to the maintenance of my former opinions, precisely at that conjuncture when it would best suit my own personal interests either to abandon them, or, what is worse, to give to them a merely specious, hollow support. " I set a just value on the esteem. " I have never courted popular applause; but I will not deny that the chief stimulus to my exertions in public life, and the sole distinction which I ever coveted as the reward of those exertions, are the confidence and good opinion that are founded on a deliberate judgment of the intentions and conduct of public men. " The sentiments which you have expressed with regard to those of my late Colleagues who have recently retired from office have been conveyed to them by me ; and I have bees desired to return to you, on their behalf, the cordial acknowledgements of their satisfaction: " I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your obedient and most faithful servant, " ROBERT PEEL. of your approbation and " To Sir E.

Sunday morning, about nine o'clock, ten persons escaped from Glasgow jail by assaulting and overpower ing •the turnkeys. One of the culprits named Glen, accused of the murder of his natural child, surrende.ed himself next day. TAE KING, &c. WINDSOR, JUNR 6.—Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, the KING left the Royal 'Lodge for town, to meet the Queen of WURIAMBERG, and after dining with her MASSSTT and her Royal Highness Princess AUGUSTA, at the Duke of CUSIIIRRLAND'S apartments, in St. James's P.ilace, returned to the Royal Lodge at twelve at night. His MAJESTY was accompanied by the LORD STEWARD, and travelled to and from London without any military escort. The Queen of WURTZWIRRO and Princess AUGUSTA are not expected at Frogmore Lodge till after Ascot Races. THE QUEEN OF WUR rEMBERG. Her MAJESTY was visited yesterday at the Bing's Palace, St. James's, by the Duke of Sauna, the Duchess of Kent, mi the Princesses Yscroala and Faoooaa, the Duke and Duchess of GLOOCZITILIP, the Princess Auousra, and the Princess Sorest. At two o'clock in the afternoon the entrance to the Palace opposite the German Chapel was opened for the reception of inquirers after the health of her astern.. The Serjeant Porter, the Gentlemen Porters, the King's Marshalmen, and the Under Porters, were in attendance. There were two books: one was handed to those of the Nobility and Gentry who did not alight from their carriayes, the other was for those of the inquirers who walked into the Palace. The Nubility and Gentry continued arriving, without intermission, from the time of the opening of the gates till live o'clock, doting which time between six and seven hundred of the Nobility and Gentry called to make their dutiful inquiries. &r TROBIAII Nast. noun, First Equerry, has been appointed by the Kxxo to be at the head of the Queen of WIIIITIMILLO'S Establishment while in Eng land.

It was then resolved, that a portion of the purchase money should be immediately paid, to confirm that part of the ar rangements of the Club ; and after some further business connected with the details of that measure, it was finatly determined that a circular should be issued, calling upon the Members who had not already done so, to pay their subscrip tions forthwith into the hands of the r Treasurers. The remainder of the time of the meeting was occupied with routine business of the Club, and the Committee adjourned. Major• General SAMUeL WILSON, who lately filled the office of Commander of the Forces at Bombay, died on board the Upton Castle, jest arrived from that settlement, on the Ist of May, the day previous to the vessel making St. Helena. The General's death was equally awful and sudden. He had been sitting at cards with a party of friends the preceding night, apparently in good health, except a slight attack of gout, under which he had some time laboured, which induced him to retire to his cabin, A slight struggle, as if for breath, and two hollow groans, attracted the at. tendon of a pasasenger in the adjoining cabin, and on the Captain reaching the General's cot if. was found extinct. His remains were interred with funeral honours during the stay of the vessel at St. Helena ' the Governor and five Field Officers bearing the pall. The Gener al left England in 1783, and had arrived at his rank through a succession of valuable services, having been at both the sieges of Serinppatam in 1792 and 1799.

REGENT'S CANAL COMPANY.—A general Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held yesterday, at the Freemasons"Tavern.—The Chairman of the Boatd of Directors presided. The Report of the past year wail read and adopted ; it contained a statement of the income and expenditure during that period. It appeared that the present balance in favour of the Company was 26351.65. 6d. On the motion, that the Report should be adopted, a long conversation ensued as to particular items in the cash account, of which the Proprietors re quired some explanation, which was satisfactorily gives, and the Report adopted. Yesterday evening the following distressing occur• rence took place in the Westminster-road, near the Obelisk, in St. George's-fields. As a party of the Guards were returning to town from Greenwich, about 11 o'clock, the horse of a Gentleman, who was driving past in his gig, took fright at the music, and started off down the Westminster road, and when near Charles street, knocked down five persons, among them, the maid servant of Mr. Merritt, of the Havannah coffee house, in the Westminster-road, whose collar bone was broke. and both her ancles severely injured ; Mr. Dennis, a t .ilor, in Charles-street, was taken home with his face much lacerated, and bleeding pro'usely ; a little girl, whose name was not learnt, was taken up, to all appearance lifeless, and conveyed to a neighbour ing surgeon's ; and a labouring man was struck so violently by the iron step of the chaise as to break it off. The horses of a Greenwich coach also took fright, and the coach, with the utmclst difficulty, prevented from being upset; the horse occasioning the mischief was stop ? ed near Lambeth Marsh-gate, without the Gentle man. sustaining the least injury.

The Shooting Match between Lord Kennedy and Mr. Osbaldem tone for the above sum, commenced yesterday at the Red House loclosnre, Battersea, at 100 birds each. Tie shooting was unusually good. The match will occupy five days at the same number of birds per day, with double barrels. In the first 30 Mr. Oshaldom tone killed 47, and In the second 43—total 90. Lord Kennedy kilted only 33 out of his hundred, but the deficiency is not to be am tributed to bad shooting (for his Lordship shot remarkably well), but to the very great superiority of the birds provided by Qayards for Mr. Osbaidestone. Had his Lordship been as well birded be I vroold not have been behind on the day. Betting was 4 and Ste I on the gun, and few takers. Mr. Mr. Mr. This is glorious weather for the hop growers. The rains will destroy the fiy, and with the fly the hopes of the gamblers in hops. It has been calculated, that to count 5,000,000 guineas, at the rate of a guinea every second, and working twelve hours a day, would employ one person nearly four months. We wish to know which is the happiest of two men equally healthy, equally rich, and of an equal condi tion? It is clear that it is their temper which decides it. The most moderate, the least anxious, and at the same time the most sensible, is the most happy; but unfortunately the most sensible is often the least mode. rate. It is not our condition, it is the temper of our souls which renders us happy. The disposition of our soul depends on our organs, and our organs have been arranged without our having the least part in the arrangement.— Voltaire. When the Earl of BRADFORD was brought. before the Chancellor to beezamined upon application for a statute of lunacy against him, the Chancellor asked him, " How many legs has a sheep r Does your Lordship mean," answered Lord BRooruan, " a live sheep, or a dead sheep."—" Is it sot the same thing,' said the Chancellor.—" No, my Lord," said Lord S. " there is much difference; a live sheep may have four legs—a dead sheep has only two, the two fore• legs are shoulders, but there are but two legs of mutton." when MARMONTEL first arrived in Paris, he was so poor that be was obliged to go and fill his own pitcher at the fountain of Saint Severin. " I never pass that fountain," said he, one day, " without feeling a deliii ous emotion. I still fancy myself in that happy age when gloty, fame, and success, are viewed through the' prism of hope." There are many literary men of the present day who may have the same recollections as MARMONTEL, but to enjoy the distant picture of virtu ous indigence, it is necessary to possess, as the autbo; of the Incas did, an independent fortune.
