In the article yesterday, headed " LITSILAILT Conetnascits ;" for, " the passage selected from Myron had its intermediate proto type in COWLiT, " read—" had its immediate prototype it COWLZT :" and for Psossus, the commentator upon Pt.aso,"read—PaocLus , Ms common tater wpm PLATO. About six o'clock this morning an officer, in a carriage and four, arrived with dispatches at the Colonial and Fo reign Offices in Downing-street. This afternoon, at half-past three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office. The Council, which was numerously attended, continued in deliberation for a considerable period. Every body knows—if they did not know it before, yet at least from the occurrences of the last Session — that the Duke of NEWCASTLE is a furious and selfish politician : but few persons, we believe, will not be taken by surprise, when they hear the unconstitutional extremity to which the Noble Boroughmonger has just avowed himself determined to carry his principles. The rage of his Grace at the independence manifested, during the contest for the representation of Newark, by those electors who voted for Serjeant WILDE, was by no means allayed by the defeat of the Learned Serjeant. On the contrary, the Duke saw in this demorairation on the part of the freemen of Newark, a tendency to over turn that political autocracy, which had been exercised over the borough for so many years without disturbance by the House of CusTow : and he determined to put the question to rest, by a recurrence to no equivocal counteraction. In pursuance, then, of this resolution to he as completely master over the voters of Newark, as a Jamaica planter is over the black cattle on his estates, the Noble Duke served all his refractory tenants in the offending borough with ejections, on the last quarter day. The number of these ejections amounted to several hundred ; and among them was an old man—eighty years of age—who had been upwards of fifty years a tenant of the Noble Duke, and his ancestors for two gene rations. The dismay and indignation which these pro ceedings excited were striking and universal ; and after the first burst of astonishment and execration had sub sided, a requisition numerously signed by the electors wa.; addressed to the Mayor, requiring him to convene a meeting of the inhabitants in the town-hall, to 'deliberate on this extraordinary matter. The Mayor of Newark — with the instinct of a true slave, who felt that he was the property of the domineering aristocrat—refused either to call together the inhabitants, or to suffer their assembling in the town-hall. They resolved, therefore, to meet without this degenerate municipal, in a tem porary building erected expressly for that occasion ; and " feeling that the honour and character of his Grace the Duke of NEWC ASTLE was seriously affected by the proceedings adopted in his name," they forwarded through the medium of their Chairman a letter of invitation to the Noble Duke, that he might attend in person, and explain the share which he had—or had not—in such an astounding transaction. The insolent and haughty peer not only rebutted' the proffered courtesy of the conveners, but replied in a letter so full of original feudalism, and un disguised contempt for the people, that we cannot refrain from printing it here—as an oligarchical curiosity—in double leads. It is addressed to the public-spirited Chairman of the Meeting—Mr. SAMUEL BILISTOWE* and runs thus : Cumber, Sept. 28, 1829. Sta,—l am much obliged by the complimentary manner in which you have invited me to attend your Meeting on the sth of October, although, upon reflection, I think you must perceive that it would be utterly impossible for me to attend a Meeting of the nature described in the printed Advertisement. If I rightly understand the object of the requisitionius, it is to assert the cause of freedom and independence. No man on earth values both more than I do. But as I respect the liberty of others, so must I demand that others shall not attempt to interfere with that freedom and independence which is my right as well as theirs. According to my interpretation of the advertisement, you meet to deliberate upon an interference between my tenants and me. Is it presumed then, that I am not to do what I will with my own? or that I am to surrender my property, and the inherent rights belonging to it, into the hands of those who desire to deprive me of it? This is the simple ques tion ; to which I answer, whilst the laws of England exist and are respected, I shall permit no clamour, nor threats, nor even finer itself, to deter me from doing as I may think fit with my own property. My advice to those who deceive themselves with the nation that they are acting as becomes free-born Englishmen. is to maintain the well-halanced'4".ir of even-handed justice, and not blindly to engage in An. unjust crusade against any man or men, (especially w)aa those men themselves ate the real friends of patine freedom and the constitationsi rights of the people) Merely because they may be the possessors of title or property. Tour invitation to the . 111 L Meeting is nude with so nisch politeness, that I have replied to 11. u it deserves. ... those of the Inhabitants of Newark In conclusion. I must remind who suffer themselves to be led to suppose that they have cause of complaint against me, that neither I nor my ancestors have ever been oppressive or tyrannical landlords. The very reverse is the well-known fact. In us the town of Newark has on all occasions found ready and prominent benefactors ; by us the deserving poor and needy have always been regarded with steady kindness and consideration, and not to suit the mere purposes of the day. When we ate found to deviate from this course, then arraign us ; we should merit correction. But whilst we are your friends, your constant and best friends, we naturally look for entire confidence and a grateful co-operation, not an assumed distrust and a faithless disunion. I am, Sir, your's, Ea. NEWCASTLE. Mr Samuel Br!Rowe, Chairman. We will begin with the beginning of this rescript. I think, upon reflection"—says the Noble writer— " you must perceive that it would be utterly impossible for me to attend a meeting of the nature described in the printed advertisement." His Grace,by his own admission, has been always puzzled in the collection of his ideas, and the task does not seem to have been less embarrass ing on this occasion ; for—otherwise—the Noble Duke must have been made aware by the least " reflection," that the conveners did not at all " perceive" his Grace's attendance to be " impossible:" if they had, of course they would not have invited him. It served, however, as a peg, on which to hang some of his aristocratic arrogance, and to prove that the Noble Duke knows how to be con tumelious, even in politeness. What an instinct the exalted Boroughmonger evinces, for the conservation o f his upper-class inviolaLility ! But it is in the next paragraph, that the doctrines and dispositions of the Noble Duke shine ,forth with their characteristic lustre : it is there that he talks in one breath of the value that he sets upon freedom and independence, and the right he possesses to force the consciences, and controul the " freedom and inde pendence" of others. It is there that he calls MEN his property—property " inherent" in him—and asserts his right to do what he pleases with them. If language of this kind can be uttered with impunity in these days of advanced intelligence, and clearly defined constitu tional prerogatives, it is exactly for this reason—that its impotency is on a par with its audacity. Let the Noble Duke, however, beware that he do not carry the joke too far, lest the unpopularity which he produce around him contribute in more ways than one to the deterioration of his revenues, and perhaps even endanger his personal residence in the heart of a justly exasperated tenantry : sit verbum sat. Nothing—not even force itself, says the Noble Duke — shall " deter me from doing as I think fit with my own property :" meaning, by this property, the freemen of the borough of Newark .! We invite serious attention to the details of the Meet ing at Newark, which will be found in another part of our paper : the character . of such a lord as the Duke of NEWCASTLE was by many erroneously supposed to be extinct—but circumstances call forth oligarchs, as well as heroes. Assuredly, it is matter for public con gratulation that such obsolete oppressors are now monsters in the body politic—and that these notions of the Noble Duke are not characteristic of the Peers of England. If they were, they would justify the uprising of the people, to exterminate the pestilent body with the sword. An article now before us from St. Petersburgh, dated the 16th September, and received this morning, informs us that His MAJESTY has addressed a most gracious Re script, accompanied with the insignia of the Order of St. Andrew, in diamonds, to General Count DIEBITSC II SABALKANSKY, as a testimony of his satisfaction, both with his victories, which have led to the occupation of Adrianople, as with the perfect discipline and excellent behaviour of the troops, towards the inhabitants of the conquered countries. His MAJESTY says:—" It has always been my wish that the Russian soldiers should be as mild to the peaceable inhabitants as terrible to the enemy in the field!" Herein consists the moderation of the Emperor NICHOLAS. The following are selections from the Journal of St. Petersburyh to the 19th ultimo, and from the Dutch Papers received this day, to the 3d instant. The latter contains some useful information to persons contemplating a residence in the Nether lands : ST. PETERSBURG. SLIT. 19. Up to the 15th inst. 1199, vessels had arrived at Cronstadt ; sailed 1002.

The King of Prussia is expected here in a few days; apartments are already prepared for hint in the palace of Luken. The Grand Duke Constantine, who is at Ems, is also expected in a few days. The report of the arrest of a person suspected of being concerned in the robbery in the palace of the Princess of Orange in un founded. It seems that some suspicion is attached to two persons who have taken the road to Germany. HAGUE, Om 1. We learn that N. Paulen. author of the notorious article "Le Miriam Estragf," who had come to Brussels with a passport, and refused to submit to the directions of the Government, has been delivered to the Manechaussit, to be conveyed to Hanover. Some of the Southern Journals, which, according to their custom, re prepent the affair as a cry ,ng violation of the fundamental law, ap pear to be ignorant of a certain decree of his Majesty, by which the officers of justice are enjoined to convey beyond the frontiers all persons who, on their arrival In the kingdom, are not provided with a passport, or other satisfactory papers. At the same time, they contend the opinion repeatedly expressed by the competent authorities, that it never could have been the object of Article 4 of the fundamental law to give license to every stranger who thinks fit to settle in the kingdom, not only without permission of the Government, but against its express will; Since this would be lay. Ing it down as a principle, that the Government is bound to admit into the kingdom, and extend its protection, even to the greatest criminals. Assateattass, Oce. ElenAltee OM LUDO; One month, 12 25-51 Months, 14 17 5-10ths.--DodcAPapers, OA S. The Lisbon Gazette of the 14th of September is received this 'day. The official part of it contains a notice from the Conde de S. Lorenzo , stating, that Don Mto trzL—his MAJESTY I—as he is therein denominated —considering the fidelity of the officers and privates, who were killed and taken prisoners, in the performance of their duty at the landing on the island of Terceira on the 11th of August, has been pleased to determine that the families of the killed shall enjoy the benefit of the Decree of the 24th of June last year ; and tho families of the prisoners shall receive their pay according to their res pective ranks." The Lisbon Gazettes to the 19th Sept. inclusive, contain chiefly extract from, Spanish and other Foreign Journals, and no other news. cm. TwELve o'CLoec. This day being one of the most solemn and strictest holidays of the Hebrews, during the whole of the year, called the White Fast, the gentlemen of the above per suasion will not make their appearance, either on 'Change or at the Stock• Exchange, during the day. They remain at Synagogue till the stars make their appearance, about seven o'clock ; and consequently, any speculations of magnitude are not expected to take place in the Funds. Consols which left off yesterday at 89a for the Account, opened at the same price, and for next Account 89i sellers, at which prices they remain at present. Nothing doing in the Foreign Market. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. We still remain without any official information from the East; and the " horrid" (? ) state of the weather causes a general gloom in the City. There is not any business of the least importance going forward. In the Consol Market all that can be said is, that it is a shade better than in the early part of the morning, when Consols were 89a for the account; and at present may be quoted 89a and 89i buyers for November account. The Foreign Market is in the same stagnant state no that of the British Market. Paris letters, received since our last, inform us that great activity prevails in the French Cabinet, and that numerous new appointments have taken place. M. VITROLLES, Minister at Florence, has been appointed Ambassador to Vienna. It is stated in a letter from Brazil, by the way of France, that the Portuguese squadron at Goa had re ceived orders from the Captain-General, Don MANUEL Po RITGA r., to proceed to Rio de Janeiro, or to Mozam bique, for the purpose of taking the instructions of the Emperor relative to the support of Terceira. In addition to our previous notice of the Lisbon Papers, our City Correspondent gives us the following new, im proved, and confused version, of the failure of the Mi guelite expedition against Terceira. The Lisbon Mail this day was brought by the Vigilant, which sailed on the 26th September. The departure of the Queen of PORTUGAL for the Brazils was then known at Lisbon; but except the following strange history, the papers do not contain any news of importance. Now, for the xew edition of Ran MIGUEL'S bulletin:—" His MAJESTY ! confided the entire command and direction of the expedition to Admiral ROSA ; and the command of the troops to Co lonel LEMAS ; but Admiral de Piano° was previously appointed Governor of the Island of Terceira. This appointment caused so great a jealousy to the two other chiefs, that when the expedition had assembled at St. Michael, and ready to sail for its destination, great dif ferences prevailed between LEMAS and ROSA, in which Admiral PRIEGO was implicated, causing It great mis understanding between the three chiefs. PRIEGO, who was very friendly with RASTO, Minister of the Marine, communicated to Don MIGUEL, through the above minis ter, the misunderstanding that prevailed. ROSA and LEMAS also made their complaint to the minister of the marine, who did not communicate them to Don MIGUEL; but immediately appointed, by a Decree, PRIEGO, Captain-General of the Azores ; the conse quence was that the squadron and the expedition re mained under the orders of Admiral PRIEGO, who changed the plans of ROSA and LEMAS, which caused confusion and disorder on board the squadron. In the mean time, the Count ROSTA sent orders to Admiral PRIEGO to re concile himself with Admiral ROSA, which PRIEGO sub mitted to; but LEMAS was obliged to leave the Ad miral's ship, when he protested against all appointments made by PRIEGO and plans of attack sent them to Lisbon. The result was the failure of the expedition—entirely attributed to the dissensions of the three Chiefs ; and when the landing was made at Terceira, several companies of different corps re fused to go on board the boats." In a late audi ence given by Don MIGUEL, at his palace of Bemposta, it was remarked that he appeared much dejected, and some of the officers and soldiers of the expedition were closely interrogated by him.—From the Lisbon Papers we cannot, of course, expect to know what the nature of these interrogatories may have been ; but we shall know every word of them by and bye—if any such were put. It is again reported, that the Spanish expedition made good their landing at Tampico on the 6th August, where they were well received by the inhabitants, owing to their paying for every thing in money. The new bridge near Kingston, Upper Canada, was completed on the sth August. It is 600 yards in length, and is supported on piers 80 feet apart. The Packet ship Manchester, from New York, sailed on the 16th September, has arrived off Port Lynas.— Letters and papers expected to-morrow. EFFICACY OF STEAM IN NAVIGATION.—The Morning Journal of to-day informs its readers, that the George IV. steam-vessel had arrived at Constantinople from St. Petersburgh, after a passage of four days and eight hours ! ! ! A dense rain fell over the metropolis to-day, com mencing about half-past twelve, and at the time of our going to press, the rain had been succeeded by a heavy fall of snow. Thus on the 7th of October, with grain, and even hay in some parts of the country unharvested, is deserving the attention of the meteorologist, as well as the general chronocler. TILE WEATHER.-1f we should aver that we have had no summer this year, we cannot be said to be far in the wrong. But be the past days as cheerless in their season as they may, we are not likely to aver that we shall have no winter. The cold to-day is as intense as has been felt in the depths of winter. It rains—and the rain is cold ; it blows—and the wind is cold ; at last it snows,—and the visages of every visitor and citizen look as if they were under the freezing domination of the Emperor NrcuoLas in the inclement wilds of Siberia. The Freedom of the City of Worcester has been unanimously voted to Col. WILLOUGHDY COTTON, of the 14th Regiment, by the Mayor and Corporation, for his gallant and able conduct during the Burmese war.

The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND, attended by the Countess of Scit LIPPEN RAUL and MiSSCOOPER, left their residence in the King's Palace, St. James's, yesterday afternoon, together with their suite, in five carriages, for their residence at Kew, which has been prepared for their Royal Highness's occupation. Prince GEORGE rode on horseback to Kew, accompanied by Sir GEORGE QUENTIN and Colonel TitoanTox. The Duchess of RICHMOND had an interview with the Duchess of Cu MBERLAND, previous to her Royal High ntss's departure from town. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.--The marriage of the Honourable Colonel SEYMOUR BATHURST, son of Earl BATHURST, with Miss HARKEY, was solemnized yes terday morning in St. George's Church, Hanover-square, as then stated in the STAR. The bride was given away by her uncle, the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer. Numbers of the relatives and friends of the parties were present; among whom were the Duchess of RLc lIMOND, Earl BATHURST, Sir GEORGE MURRAY, Lady JANE PEEL, Lady GEORGIANA BATHURST, &C. After the performance of the ceremony the company proceeded to the residence of Chief Baron ALEXANDER, in Grosvenor square, where a handsome dejeuni was prepared. The new married couple afterwards left town for the seat of the Earl of HARCOURT, at Nuneham, Oxfordshire. The Admiralty have despatched a royal yacht, and also one of the Government steam-packets, to Dieppe, to be at the command of his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE. The Duke of Bucxlmo if AM is not returned to Eng land, as reported, though shortly expected. The mis take, we understand, arose from the name of the Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE being confounded with that of the Noble Duke. Yesterday evening the Earl of ABERDEEN entertained a distinguished party to dinner at Argyll-house. Amongst the company present were—Earl BATHURST, Lady GEORGIANA BATHURST, Prince EsTzawszy, Lord DUNGLAS, Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, Lord APSLEY, Mr. SNEEDE, &c. Lord F ITZHA RRIS, the eldest son of the Earl of MALMESBURY, arrived last week at the Noble Earl's seat, Heron Court, near Christchurch, after a Continental excursion of two years. Thursday last the whole of the tenantry of Earl NEL SON were sumptuously entertained by the Noble Earl and Countess, at Trafalgar Home, near Salisbury. When Brooke's Club-house was threatened some years ago with a visit from the police, the Club took the opinion of an eminent Barrister, then a member, as to what course it would be best to pursue ; whose laconic answer was, " Order the waiters to chuck them over the banisters." The Hon. E. R. PETItE, of Stapleton Park, has been chosen an Alderman of the city of York, in the room of R. CHALON ra, Esq. resigned. Monday evening, the Officers of the Royal Horse Guards, (Blue), gave a magnificent Ball at the Cavalry Barracks, Windsor, to a select circle of the haut ton. — The whole of the arrangements were executed with great taste and superior skiU. The Ball Room, although not spacious, was elegantly fitted up, and lighted by a wreath of flowers in which lights were placed on the same prin ciple as the one used at his Grace the Duke of DEvoN SHIRE'S late Grand Parties. The refreshments were on the most liberal scale. Galloopes were the favourites of the evening. Every thing went off with the most bril liant ecidt, and the company did not separate until a late hour, highly delighted with the amusement of the evening. Sir CHARLES MORGAN, Bart. with two of his sons, arrived at his house, in Brecon, on Friday last, in order to be present at the Races there, which commenced en Wednesday. On the following evening, Mr. Motto AN arrived there, accompanied by his amiable and interesting Lady. It being the first time Mrs. MORGAN has fa voured the Breconians with a visit, it was therefore con sidered as her bridal one. The numerous and respectable tenantry of Sir CHARLES in that county, with other friends of the family, greeted her arrival with every de monstration of joy and respect. Nearly 200 persons on horseback, decorated with white favours, went some dis tance to hail the approach of the fair stranger; and at the entrance into the town, the procession was met by a body of pedestrians, who instantly took the horses from the carriage, and drew it into the town. In this manner they proceeded under canopies of flowers in different places to Sir CHARLES'S residence, a band of music preceding , bells ringing, &c. Mr. MORGAN was on horseback, following his Lady's carriage, in which " her nurse at tended with her infant boy," the young " hope" of Tre degar. The event was highly interesting, and went of with much ecldt. Monday se'nnight, Major-General Sir R. O'CALLA • GRAY, the Honourable Captain CATHCART, Colonel TIDY, Major BROKE, and Mr. ANDERSON Of the War' Office, arrived in Aberdeen from Gordon Castle, when they had been for some days enjoying the splendid h.* talkies of the DUKE and DUCHESS. The above Anil, who form a Court of Inquiry, for the investigation of the books and records of all the regiments in North Britain, haVe already visited the royal regiment at Fort George. and since their arrival at Aberdeen have been incessantly oceupied with the books of the 78 th , now in the barracks there. The Court, after leaving Aberdeen, go on 63 Glasgow and Paisley. 11l r
