bin in, the be ►rl or , . dr- • • .alla If example has the effeot on Governments, which they expect it to have on the lowest grade of cri minals, every Minister will cause the words " En quiry and redress, before punishment," to be in scribed in his Cabinet :—it is the key at once to public justice, and to the affections of mankind. If, as rumoured, DIEBITSCH is dead, the event will decide the Polish war. It will divide and dis tract the already distracted movements of the Rus sian armies ; and though there may be bloody ren :antes, yet it would so raise the Poles, and so sink the Russians, as to make the latter an easy prey to the former. The destruction of the host of Senna . herib was not more marvellous! The private letter from our regular Correspondent in l'aris, which we give this day, represents that Capital again tranquil ; although that tranquillity is admitted to be extremely precarious. We have, however, seen a private letter from a gentleman in that city, which speaks of the state of affairs there in morn alarming terms than those used by our Correspondent. The writer says, in explaining his masons for intending to leave France : " The truth is, that matters are looking very gloomy here : there is little doubt that the new Chamber will overturn the Ministry, and a general discontent is abroad in the better class of citizens, that lam sure will ere long explode. Wagers are laid here of two to one, that Louts PH ILLIPPE does not•return to Paris King! This, however, may be considered rather premature ; but those who say, that he will not be on the throne this day two months, are, it is feared, not very far from the mark. "On the anniversary of the Revolution, there is much talk of raising The Tree of Liberty simul taneously ; and great preparations are making here among the patriots to celebrate it in a manner in dependent of any Government flummery. A secret understanding seems to exist amongst all classes, and the Government appear aware that something is brewing. Domiciliary visits of the police take place at all hours of the day'and night ; and not only are the suspected parties arrested, but the police take possession of the house, and arrest all those who come to it. An instance of this kind took place yesterday, and fifteen persons were ar rested. I regret this, as our Government is a wise and virtuous one. I hope it may still triumph ; but doubt I shall not have courage enough to stay out the result." Another letter has reached us, in a postscript to which we have the subjoined passage : " The riots here ought only to be mentior. ed as a joke. The rioters are mere housebreakers, pick pockets, &c. Seven-eighths of the Parisians— although many desire foreign war—are desirous of quietness at home, and will preserve it." ROYAL EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK. Owing to anticipations of his Majesty's Speech not being so favourable regarding the affairs of Belgium, Consols, which left off yesterday at 83 j for the Account, opened at 83 j; since which they have been done at 83; and at present the market appears heavy, at the latter price. In Foreign Securities nothing doing. TWO O'CLOCK. There is n report current, that General Sebas tiani was about to resign. There are likewise ru mours on the 'Change at Paris, of the formation of three camps : one at Lille, another at Strasbourg, and the third on the frontiers of Piedmont. These, however are not considered as indications of war, as they were announced by the Minister in the last sessions. The squadron under the command of Admiral Hugen, sailed from Toulon on the 9th of June, at 5 P.M. It has on board 600 troops, to reinf orce the army in the Mores. This squadron is composed of five sail of the line and two frigates. ' THREE O'CLOCK. _ _ STOCK Bac Hswox.—Bank Stor:kTl - 974 Bi. Threeper Cent. Red. 824 14. Three rer Ct. Cutts. shut.

No letters or papers have been received as yet ; it is supposed they will be detained one day—there fore we cannot confirm or contradict the death of Diebitach at present. Accounts from Warsaw by the French mail this morning state, that the Grand Polish Army is again ready to take the field, but its future opera tions are not known. They have sufficient re inforcements ; and have more recruits than can be furnished with arms. The Berlin information state, that the Polish corps d t 'armee, which has entered Lithuania, is marching from success to success. General Chlapowski, after the glorious affair of Narewka, entered the forest of Bialourz, following the road to Kamieniec. Ditewski and be took possession of Brzesc-Litewski, with considerable magazines. This corps d'armee now consists of fifteen thou sand men. On the other side, General Gielgud has obtained a victory over the Imperial Guards, and crossed the Niemen. The Collection at Fetter-lane Chapel, under the direction of the Rev. Messrs. G. Burder and Caleb Morris, on Sunday last, for the benefit bf the starving Irish, amounted to 501. The latter gen tleman preached from Matthew, ch. 12, v. 7, I will have mercy and not sacrifice." After a suitable exordium, in which the preacher briefly - but forcibly impressed upon his hearers the nature and importance of instituted means as such, he proceeded, by four comprehensive and cogent ar guments, to establish the principle topic of dis course, viz. " The superiority of Moral Obliga tion to Positive Ordinances. After the sermon Mr. M. read several extracts from the public jour nals, containing affecting pictures of the misery and distress existing in the sister country ; and Eloquently .enforced upon his hearers the duty of immediate and liberal contribution towards its relief. COURT CIRCULAR. His Majesty held a Chapter of the Most Noble Order of the Garter at St. James's Palen, yesterday, at 4 o'clock, for the purpose of electing his Serene Highness the Duke of Bruunswick a member ef the Order, his Serene Highness being rendered eligible under a statute passed abour thirty years since, by which the Sovereign has power to admit the descendants of George 11. without forming a part of the number to which the Order is limited by the ori ginal statutes.

The Knights then formed themselves in on, according to their rank, the Sovereign being last. Ts c r e etching the Throne-room (where the chapter was held), the King seated himself at the bead of the table, round which the Knights were ranged. The Duke of Brunswick was then duly elected a Knight of the order, and was accordingly in. Produced by the two Junior Knights (Earl Grey and the Duke of ]ford), when his Majesty invested his Serene Highness with the insignia of the order, after which the King and the Duke embraced. _ The Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Augusta, the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, the Duchess of Saxe Weimar, and their Ladles in Waiting, were present at the ceremony, and sat to the left of the King.

His Majesty held a Privy Council, when the King's speech, to be delivered on opening the Sessions of Parliament this day, was taken into consideraation, and agreed upon.

The King's Speech on opening the session of Parliament. as agreed on by His Majesty in Coiled], was stated by the noble hosts to their respective patties. The guests at both dinners tame in full Court-dress. The party at Earl Grey's consisted of His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Lord Chancellor, the Dultes of Norfolk, Devonshire, Leiaster. Bedford, and Richmond; Marquises Wellesley, Clanriawde, and Lane downs ; Earls Albemarls and Morley; Viscounts Godnich and °moral ; Lords Plunkett, Brains, Durham, and Auckland.

Edward Irving. Such a liberal contribution deserves notice, and challenges imitation. CITY 01440D1 T.—Report says that our army is to be increased ten thousand men. It is also stated that the amendment to the Address to his Majesty this day will be carried by a majority of eight Peers ; and that sixteen new ones are to be made. SUN DAY SCHOOL/I.—Sunday Schools took the lead in the efforts of modern Christian charity : they were established about the end of the year 1781, and have continued to the present time with increasing prosperity. The fiftieth year of these important institutions is a period adapted to call the put to remembrance ; and we are glad to ob serve, that a public meeting of the friends of Sun day Schools, by way of Jubilee, is to be held soon, which we hope will be numerously attended. Mr. W. Hutton late Secretary of the Govern ment of Gambia, has published an extract from a work of his own, which appeared in 1821, des cribing " the exit of the Niger in the Bights of Berin and Biafra." He states, however, that the Moors maintain that the river in question is not the Niger, and that the Niger runs westward. Mr. Robertson, who was killed under Sir C. Macarthy, had, it appears, explored the winkle dis trict, and Mr. M'Queen, of the Glasgow Courier, was no stranger to it. It is due to Messrs. Landers to state, that they made no claims of ex clusive discovery ; and it was for tbea• r fiss-dianake I only of a puff to a feeble newspaper. NEW BEER TRADE THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND THE To osse of the New Oases. LITTII 111. auxx 20. Notwithstanding the reverence with which we English mention " a Jury of our countrymen," as the most equita. bit tribunal for settling disputes between man and man, and the deference all manner of persons pay to a verdict delivered by twelve honest eitisens, yet is this feeling crested rather by comparison with the un-Saxon foal sestentio of the Jus t►nian Code, than any belief entertained of sage immaculacy residing in the minds of persons who happen to be pricked annually as " Jurors for our Lord the King." So just is this solution of our fatuity as regards these inquests, that we frequently find different juries cnming to opposite con clusions upon the same evidence, and often witness applies. dons to our Judges for new trials, in consequence of such erroneous decisions ; what is more, we sometimes observe those grave magnates reverse its tom, the solemn determina tions of unbiassed dozens, pronouncing " to the best of their judgment " upon pious testimony, which has been sifted to the dregs for their edification by opposing counsellors. I also recollect one case of the foreman of a jury (vireo 1800) being tried, and himself convicted by another jury, for hav ing performed his duty offensively to the magistrates of that period, though he acted humanely and justly, according to general opinion. Many more cases might be adduced. to prove that juries are but men, and that justices do not shake of their humanity upon receiving the commands as eel as such, in granting licenses, in. keeping the peace, and exer cising the other functions of magisterhd antbority,—so con. genial to our natures is the power of controlling the actions of others. Hence, we can perceive nothing very won. derful in the late important interference of a Grand Jury or two (which always includes a portion of magistrates) in mat. ten not falling exactly within the sphere of their duty as jurors, but tallying exactly with the resentment they must feel towards a measure of policy, which deprives them of the only patronage they possess as magietrates. In this view of the case, the petitions lately presented to the House of Lords (only) may be candidly set down as the opinions of so many biassed individuals venting their spleen against the new Beer Traders, and the act of parliament which con. 'dented them such. Thus do the two petitions from Bogner set, one from Worcestershire, and another not named, pre. sented by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, lose their vital sting, and become the mere harmless effusions of the per turbed persons whose signatures they bear, though found sufficient to rouse a few of " the House" against you ; and this in such a manner as, I must own, being accessory to the other , menacing annoyances to which you a►e now sub jected, may in time bring about fresh enactmentafor crippling your trade; unless the evil spirit of misrepresentation be met with the flambeau of truth, and the pawky whinings of a few half-English souls among us, experience manly rebuke. At Warwick Assizes, the quo amino of those persona, was rendered still more flagrant by the counter-charge of the learned Judge. He had " heard of no tumultuous u semblages, no riotous proceedings, no special commissions, in this part of the country 1" yet did the Magistrates retire from his presence, and assert that " the late Beer Ad had the effect of increasing Drunkenness, Gambling, and D o stichersc. ., Yes, yes; the Magistrates find that their contend over public-house property is fast slipping through their fingers i but the truly inefficient means they have taken to avert that necessary event, will have the contrary effect of making them, (according to a homely phrase,) " cut their own throats—" a piece of personal retrlbudon here on earth, wbkh actually betel the clanfratais Witsldee of Licessing Magistrates last year ! Doubtless, a jury of infalUbles returned a good family 'M illet i but, for my part, I happen to know that the disclosure of certain licensing corruptions led the way to this hapless as of justice, which he is said to have performed with pre. chime which his profession ambled him so execute equal to the tact of a C This simple ought not to be lost upon the Somerset petitkwers, nor be thrown away upon those of Worcester, nor, indeed, on the Greenwich junto of cheerless wishes; for it is, indeed and indeed, a way of Awing of that is quite in keeping with the miseries entailed upon the coming generation (see my first letter for them by name) by the adulterations to which licensed victuallers an - I necessarily driven, to reimburse themselves the money paid for obtaining their licensed houses, or for tbs transfer of them from band to hand. And, let me ask, are such abominations to continue P Is the law whirl inflicts all this misery upon a population of millions of hard-work ing mechanics, any longer to deform the statute book P Rather, I should apprehend, that an enlightened Adminis tration and a reformed Parliament will extend the beneficent provisions of the act which created your trade:—fa what way this is to be done, let us ingulrelhereafter. Before we gull 1, the lords' petitioners," I may as well tell you of a fact connected herewith, that comes exactly within my put. view, as regarding one of the many satellites of the licence vendors. A neighbour of mint—a very strict church-goer to chapel—who is something of a secretary to a bench of licensers, and has thereby much talk to interpose, upon the usual perambulatory visit to the hotiies of persons applying for licenses, expects twenty pounds to be deposited at his office by every aspirant " victualler." and he inva riably receives that sum, or mote, at his fee. Will this man petition, think you, my ancient friend. Indeed be ought, or he will lose his fees ; and if he do, it will not avail him, I guess; none but silly feeds : and:arrant knaves will hereafter give fees for new licences to poison the public, those hams they already occupy Wig reduced to the con- dition of anstre—l mean Will Shakespeare's - " dumps so dull and heavy." So you perceive, Sk, that' those grand jury petitions, view them how we may, do Doer carry much weight with them. Although we nay not, nader all the circumstances, treat them as so much waste paper or takes parchments, I think the Lord Chancellor's remarks, on the 14th of April, have shamed these petitioners a little; and we may upset to hear him tell those magistrates, 'wh:n next the topic is broached in his house, that the proper mode of answering a circular sent by a Secretary of State, is not by petitioning parliament. Though his Lordship may not exactly employ the language of King Arthur to his Cour. tiers, this is no reason why I should not, exulting as I do at the bile I have created, in public adakeratets, as evinced by their mouthpiece of the daily press. Petition me no petitions— The man who frowns to-day, skill lose his bead, That he may have no face to frown withal." MR. PITT'S OPINION OF THI CRIMINAL LASHI.—" So deeply was Mr. Pitt convinced of the improper severity of our laws, that, to my know ledge, that distinguished person had it in contem plation to submit the whole of our penal code to the revision of some able lawyers, for the purpose of digesting a plan to diminish the sanguinary nature of its punishments—so inconsistent with thejustice and humanity for which dais cenutry is peculiarly .illstingaidsed."—Mr. Wilberforce's speech in the House of Commons, Feb. 9, 1810. THE NEWLY CREATED PEERS. The Right Honourable George James Welbore ' Agar Ellis, whose elevation to the Peerage of the United Kingdom by the title of Baron Dover ap pears in Friday's Gazelle, is only son and heir apparent of Lord Viscount Clifden, who inherits the English Barony of Mendip, which, of course, enables the Noble Viscount to sit in the Upper House of Parliament. The Barony of Dover is not a new title in the English Peerage, having been successively borne by the distinguished families of Douglas, Carey, and Yorke. The last occa sion on which it became extinct or dor mant was in the year 1792, on the death of Field-Marshal Sir Joseph Yorke (created Baron Dover 1788.) Lord Dover, whose talents and ac complishments fairly entitle him to the honour which the Sovereign has conferred upon him, is son-in-law to the Earl of Carlisle, having formed a matrionial alliance in 1822 with his Lordship's second daughter, Lady Georgians Howard, by which lady he has a numerous family. Her Lady ship is honoured with the personal friendship of her Royal HighneEs the Duchess of Kent, who lately stood sponsor to Lady Georgiana's youngest infant. On the accession of Earl Grey to office, Lord Dover was sworn in a member of the Privy Council, and appointed First Commissioner of, Woods and Forests, in the room of Lord Lowther. This office, however, his Lordship resigned on the plea of ill health, and was succeeded by Viscount Duncannon. The Earl of Sefton is one of the few Irish Peers who have, on succeeding to the family honours, continued to represent English boroughs in Parlia ment. Although the Earldom is au Irish title, his Lordship's property and connexions are, we believe, exclusively British. His Lordship is a nobleman of very liberal politics, and during the long period that he sat for Droitwich, a borough under the in fluence of Lord Foley, be invariably acted with the whig party. The venerable Earl of Fingall is also distin guished by his liberal political principles. His Lordship is resident in Ireland ; and, therefore, not to be included in the considerable number of Peers who, with their extensive possessions in that country, are absentees. Prior to the Earl's elevation to the British Peerage, he was of course an hereditary Couneeller to the Crown ; and his Lordship's creation does not, therefore, augment the number of Irish Peers. Lord Killeen, the Earl's only son, is the Member for Meath, for which he was elected last August. Lord Kinnaird is a young nobleman, only 24 years of age, and recently retired from the first Life Guards, in which he held the commission of Lieutenant. His Lordship is nephew to the Duke of Leinster, and the late Hon. Douglas ames Kinnaird, the bulk of whose considerable fortune it is understood his Lordship inherits. RAMMOHUN ROI"S SPEECH AT THE •NNUAL MIZTIIIO or THE BRITISH AND !OREM UNITARIAN ASSOCIATION, HELD OH WED. NESDAT THE 26TH OLT• IN TININIRT CHAIM, LONDON* Woodbridge, June 17. 5111— I observe in your paper of the 14th inst. an article headed " Rammohun Roy," wherein it states that " the result of contemplating the divine records led to his abandonment of the idolatrous faith be had previously held, and to his taking up what may, in some measure, be viewed as a species of Unitarianism • but he by no means denies the divinity of our Saviour, though he withholds his assent to the doctrine of the Trinity." As a con stant reader of your Journal, 1 feel an interest in the correctness of its statements, and I shall therefore feel obliged, when opportunity offers, if you would have the kindness to insert the annexed Speech; which, I trust, will be fully sufficient to confute the insinuation that Rammohun Roy sanc tions only a part of what may be truly termed Unitarian Christianity. I am, sir, your obedient servant, J. C. D. RA3I.IIODUN ROT-I am too unwell and too' much exhausted to take any active part in this meeting ; but I am much indebted to Dr. Kirkland and to Dr. Bowring, for the honour they have conferred on me, by calling me their fellow-labourer; and to you for admitting me to this Society as a brother and one of your fellow-labourers. I am not sensible that I have done any thing to deserve being called a promoter of this cause ; but with respect to your faith, I may observe, that I too believe in the one Gon, and that I believe in al most all the doctrines that you do; but I do this for my own salvation, and for my own peace. For the objects of your society, I must confess that I have done very little to entitle me to your gratitude, or such admiration of my conduct. What have I done ?—I do not know what I have done. If 1 have ever rendered you any services, they must be very trifling—very trifling, lam sure. I laboured under many disadvantages. In the first instance, the Hindoos and the Brahmins, to whom I am re lated, are all hostile to the cause ; and even many Christians there are more hostile to our common cause than.the Hindoos and the Brahmins. 1 have honour for the appellation of Christians, but they always tried to throw difficulties and obstacles in the way of the principles of Unitarian Christianity. I have found some of these here, but more there. They abhor the notion of simple precepts. They always lay a stress on mystery and mystical points, which serve to delude their followers; and the conse- . quence is, that we meet with such opposition in India that our progress is very slight; and I feel ashamed, 1 , on my side, that I have not made any progress that might have placed me on a footing with my fellow labourers in this part of the globe. However, if this is the true system of Christianity it will pre vail, notwithstanding all the opposition that may be made to it. Scripture seconds your system of religion ; common sense is always on your side ; while power and prejudice are on the side of your opponents. There is a battle going on between reason, Scripture, and common sense ; and wealth, power, and prejudice. These three have been strug-. gling with the other three ; bat I am convinced that your SUCCESS sooner or WIT, is certain. I feel over•exhausted, and therefore conclude with an expression of my heartfelt thanks for the ho nour that, from time to time, you have conferred on me, and which I shall never forget to the last moment of my existence. One hundred and twenty treatises on cholera *orbus have been sent to Russia by different fa .. culties. That disease is now acknowledged to differ materially from that existing in India—being less rapid in its progress, but more contagious. aIIICLIIII. COTTON ( Lk.) Wvos.

Bow-siairr.— Mr. Henry Hetherington, printer and publisher, No. 13, Kingsgate-street., Holborn, appeared be fore Sir R. Birnie, Mr. Halls, and Mt. Robinson, In sago , r to an information laid against him under the 60th of Goo. the 3d, for exposing for sale ctrtilp publications, called " The Republican, or the Sovereignty of the People, and the Poor am's Guardian." They were published without any stamp. and the penalty for sock @Rance was 201. subject to mitigation to any awn not less than ill. This set give a right ot appeal to the defendant Mr. ALLIT, in opening the we, said that he attencied at the desire of the Attorney. General, to support four informa tions which the Law Officers of the Crown had caused to be laid against the defendant, who was charged ur.d .r the statute of the 00th Geo. 111. with an evasion of the Stamp Act, so far as it related so newspaper publications. It would, however, not be necessary, he imagined, to go into all the cases ; bat he thought It right theu to state, that it was the fixed determination of his Majesty's Govanment to proceed against all parties who, like the defendant, might violate the law. The defendant pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Winter of the Stamp Office, stated that he bou t .ht a number of the Rep üblican from the defendant, and that it was unstamped. though containing the news of the day. After some discussion as to the neceselcy for reading the whole of the publics ion, Mr. Hams thought that enough bad appeared, net only to show that it was a tissue of vile nonsense, but alto to glee them (the magistrates) jurisdiction. Mr. Arnold contended that there was no proof that it was a periodical publication. The defendant inveighed in strong terms against the Go vernment, and called the Counsel for the prosecution and the magistrates, the paid agents, the tools for performing the dirty weskits corrupt ministry. Ms Magistrates, after a brief consultation, inflicted on the dilute the mitigated penalty of 61. A conviction was at ths some time recorded on the second information ; but the seensining two were withdrawn. Mr. Alley observing that 'sough had been done to teach the defendant that he could not publish such papers on unstamped paper. The de fendant put in bail to prosecute an appeal at the Sessions. QUILIMIQUARE.—A very long inquiry took place respecting the disappearance of Mr. Mathews, of the Comp. troller's Office, Whitehall. From some circumstances, W. Davits, a waterman, was apprehended on suspicion of being acquainted with the cause of his disappearance, and having • white hat of that gentleman's in his possession. Mr. M. has a boat of his own, which has been found. The story which Dairies tells is this :—The prisoner said, that between nine and Wigan nine o'clock on Tuesday evening, Mr. Ma thews ems se Whitehall Stain, and asked fur Evans, ano ther weistieen he told him he wee not there. Ile then wed he Mobs Westwood, and said he wanted to speak se ass Hoes eery particularly. He told him that V. weed ba/ gone home. Mr. Mathews then said that he want. ad some shirts which Evans had got of his: he offered to Fe to Evans's house for them, and Mr. Mathews ispl'ed that he might if he chose. Mr. Mathews then sent for two pots of hat-and-half, and he (the prisoner) went for the shirts, and was told that they were not finished. On his seinen, Mr. Mathews was gone ; in a short time he returned, bringing with him a bundle ; be drank some of the beer, sod gave the rest to some of the other watennes ; he then " Toting Davies, I want to speak to you." He, how. aver, went back to the office, and returned with a black hat. nal both ggoat Into his boat, and he rowed Mr. Mathews as ihr as -bridge. On their return, lie.
