" A Celestial Adas, comprising a Systematic Display of the flea vens,in a Series of Maps ; illustrated by Scientific Descriptions, and accompanied by Catalogues of the Stars.—By Auxotis•zo JAKIISON, A. M." Such is the title 3f one of the most valuable and interesting works that has appeared dining the pre sent season, fertile as it has been in literary and scien tific productions. Whether considered as to its ori ginality, the set vices it will render to the scientific student, or to the immense labour and perseverance by which it has been accomplished, the Celestial Atlas is deserving of the support of every lover and patron of Science; and as it has already been honoured with the patronage of his Majesty, to whom, by , permission, it is dedicated, and by the approbation of several of our most distinguished philosophers and astronomers, it can scarcely tail of becoming extensively known. Indeed, its merits, if duly appreciated, must ensure it popularity ; and as it stands single and alone in the English language, no library will be complete with out it; and it gives advantages and facilities to stu dying the divine science of Astronomy, of which no tutor or student should neglect to avail himself, par ticularly as it is published at a price which brings it within the reach of all who value the science to which it belongs. Following in some degree the sugge.,tion of Flam stead, and the atlases of M. Bode and M. de la Caille, 'qr. Jamieson has so far improved on the plan as to justly entitle his work to the claim of originality. The object of the Celestial Atlas is to make us better acquainted.with the starry hosts, and to render maps of the Heavens as generally useful as is the celestial globe. The problems and solutions illustrative of the maps represent the constellations as they really exist in nature, and such is their accuracy, as far as respects stars oLthe first and second magnitudes, that they will enable the student to direct his telescope within a very little space of any particular star he o view. The descriptive portion of the of the boundaries and contents of the within a vl may wish t work treats several constellations and the these are added exercises for of the successive appearances *Ad signs, in the evening, at , =corning, throughout the year popular and familiar manner , ject of the author in this, as well as in the work, has been to adapt it to those who receive a polite or classical education, and thereby furnish one of the most elegant and highly rational amusements in which the scientific mind can be employed. THE 14:VENING STALL ~ .r,rp„`,., _ appears that the Xing of Srarartas again re• fused bis sanction to the law for abolishing seignerial rights. Should he still refuse it a third tine; hlite gatire is null, and the law passes, according to the provisiotii of the Spanish Constitution. Afttetwo Secret Sittings of the Cortes, M. MARTINEZ de la RosA (a Minister), went to Aranjuez, in order to in r form the KING energetically of the wish of the Cortes, and the necessity of fortifying the national spirit of enthusiasm for the Constitution. The KING, i n is said, yielding to this communication, will, with out delay, return to the Capital. The (4 uotidienne, the most violent Ultra Journal, gives an article from Madrid, under date of the 11th June, which states that the Minister for Foreign Af fairs, in his interview with the KING at Aranjuez, threatened his MAJESTY to unveil to the Cortes a conspiracy against the Constitution, in which the KING and his brothers arc compromised. The ob ject of this conspiracy is said to have been to carry off the KING into the midst of the Insurgent troops, who were then to march to Madrid, dissolve the Cortes, and abolish the Constitution. The proofs of this conspiracy were, it is said, produced in a secret sitting of the Cortes, and it was under deliberation whether they should not separate the Princes from the KING. In consequence of these reports, crowds ran through the streets, shouting " Down with the King !—Down with Carlos f"fhe Military Commandant issued or ders to double the posts. Numerous patrols were out all night, and arrested several individuals holding horrible conversation. It is necessary to observe, that Madrid Papers of the 13th inst. are entirely silent on the events which appear to have given so much alarm to the writer in the Quotidipsite. nutrias FUNDS, JUNI? 21.—Five per Cent. Consols opened at 91 f. 25 c.— Ditto lowest, 91 f. 10 c.—Ditto closed at 91f. 10 c. We have received this morning a file of Charleston Papers to the 17th May. FROM THE CHARLESTON MERCURY, MAY 16. Letters from Havannah, of the 7th inst. mention a report that prevailed in Matanzas, that the United States schooner Alligator had run ashore in a chase near that port, and was attacked by the vessel she was in pursuit of. Another report in Havannah was, that the Congress of Mexico, by a large majority, had determined to reunite themselves to Spain, under , die Constitutional system, and that Iturbide had protested against such a measure. This story was, no doubt, framed and circulated by the Spanish Authorities in Cuba, perhaps with the vain purpose of producing some effect in this country, or at least of alarming the Administration. All in formation from Spanish America, that comes by way of Havannah, is to be regarded %sit!) great suspicion. One fact speaks loudly against this report; the Spa nish troops are now, and have been for some time, shipped off from Mexico for Havannah, and thence to Spain. Markets at Havannah are very bad.— The British frigate Tribune and the American frigate Macedonian are lying within pi tol shot of each other. Fnost APRICA.—By the brig Hazard, from Saint Jago, Cape de Verde, we learn, that the state of things in that quarter had not essentially varied for several months. The boats of his Britannic Majesty's frigate Iphigenia had recently cut out of the harbour of Be4sao, in the night, a Portuguese schooner, ssith 190 slaves. One Portuguese brig and two schooners have been recently taken by his Majesty's brig Thistle, loading slaves. This forenoon we received a Dutch Mail, bringing Papers to the 23d instant. Accounts from Peters burgh to the 6th instant state, that the Imperial Guards are expected to return to the Capital, but no orders have yet been given to that effect. The Pe tersburgh journals for the first time mention the eva cuation of the two Principalities by the Turks. The following article from Frankfort, however, speaks very positively to the contrary : .., a . • 4 , _ . iglu Of the zodiac.

Both the Bank and Stock Exchange being shut, a number of the Brokers have assembled on the Royal Exchange, and a little business is doing in the Consols, which are 8111. Pomo; Funss.—Up to this hour these is but little business doing in the Foreign Securities. The prices may be quoted as follow :—Spanish ; Chilian 601; Russian en 1; Prus sian Sit to e 7; Danish i7#; Neapolitan 73; Colombian 102; New S4e. This moment it is reported on 'Change, that two expresses have arrived from Paris, and bring the Funds 91f. 70c. also that private letters state, that France has agreed with the Cortes to send all the Spatfish Insurgents 150 leagues distant from each of their territories, and France is to pay to Spain all the arrears owing to her from the Treaty of 1815. Another report pre. vails, that the Cordon Sanitaire, on the Spanish frontiers, has become disaffected, and declared in favour of the Spaniards. We understand the East India Company bold two millions of Reduced, and it is thought they will shortly call in their Bonds, and reduce their interest to three per cent. CHILI LOAN. On Monday last, the 17th inst. the general Mortgage Bond, minted by Don ANTONIO Jose tia Yatsaaar, Envoy from Chili, as a security for the Loan raised for the service of that State, and the original special power granted by his Government under which the same was contracted for, were deposited in the Bank of England, in conformity with the fifth article of the said Bond, in the presence of the said Envoy, of Messrs.HuLLETT, Baortreas, and Co. Agents for the Loan, and of Mr. JOHN Varot, Notary Public of this city. The French Papers of Thursday lend Friday have been received. They confirm the account of the.seizure of General BERTHON. Notwithstanding the statements of his arrival in Spain, •it seems doubtful of his ever having quitted the scene of his rash entvi prize, as he was seized at Saumur. The arrest of the General was considered of so much importance, that the Duke of BELLUNO had a special audience to announce the event to the KING. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, a spi rited debate arose on two subjects, which excited a considerable degree of party feeling, namely, a Pro ject of Law• to re-establish the Seminary of Chartres, and another to demolish the Opera House. M. de LAMETN led the opposition to the former. This se minary had been abolished at the Revolution, and the buildings converted into barracks and a civil tri bunal. The grant proposed was, therefore, to build suitable edifices fur the two latter purposes, and to restore the religious structure to its 'ancient destina tion. M. de LAMETII, in opposing this proposal, animadverted bitterly on the fanatical and super stitious spirit at present encouraged by the Court; and particularly alluded to the establishment of a Nunnery in the square of the Temple, where the grandest hotel, and the finest garden in Paris, he had come into the occupation of the sisters. In all parts of France convents suppressed by law were rising, by Court favour, with greater magnifi cence than under the old regime ; and the sect of the Jesuits, who had been driven from European States as the pest of European society, had returned to superintend education, and to menace France with the infection of their pernicious doctrines. M. de MARCELLUS defended the Bill, and lamented the fall of sacred edifices, the ruin of churches, the neglect of seminaries, and the overthrow of religious monuments. M. MANUEL opposed the grant, and was often in terrupted with cries of cc question," or, as the French call it, a close of the discussion; upon which it was remarked by a Deputy of the left side, that they only wished to close the mouth of the public purse. The demolition of the Opera-House gave rise to a similar discussion. It is well known that the Duke de BERRI was assassinated at this Theatre; a d that in a room of it he took the sacrament. On this ac count it was immediately proscribed by the Court as a place of amusement, and a new Opera-House was built at the public expense. M. BEAUSEJOUR argued against this piece of super stitious absurdity with considerable spirit. Because a Prince," said he, whom we loved was assassinated in that place, are we called upon to punish a mass of inanimate stone for die crime ? Is not this to imitate the conduct of the revolutionary agents, who ordered the buildings of Lyons to be demolished because its inhabitants opposed their designs? When Henry IV. was assassinated, did we demolish the whole street in which the crime was committed ? When the life of Louis XV. was attempted at Versailles, did he de molish the Palace to shew his horror at the intended atrocity ?" - - - It appears by an article from Turin, that the Ex iling, Vraroa-EmaNuEL, bad arrived in that city, with studious privacy. The knowledge of his arrival, however, gave rise to a variety of rumours. The two brothers are said to have met each other on the best terms. The accounts from Spain are to the 11th.. The Ultra-Journals describe the Servile: at still in arms FRANKFORT, JUNE 16. The conjectures of those persons seem to become more prohable who thought that, notwithstanding the assurances from Austria, there was not sufficient ground for believing that the Porte would fulfil its promise made verbally to Lord Strangford (we do not find that it has been made in writing), to with draw its troops from the Principalities. It is posi tively affirmed, iq accounts from the Austrian fron tiers, that the Asiatics who had left Little Wallachia, have returned with reinforcements, and that if some Asiatic Janissaries have left Moldavia to go against the Persians, they have been succeeded by more nu merous bodies of European Janissaries ; and in short, that little expectation can be entertained of a speedy evacuation. SALONICHI, MAT 6. An expedition is talked of here, the object of , which is to extirpate the Monks of Mount Athos. After the brave Mark Bochari had reduced Chour said Pacha to such a situation that it was not pos• sible for him to act on the offensive, he repaired to Corinth to plan his farther enterprizes with the Pole marches, among whom Greece now reckons General -.- , " --... ' I Norman. By a decision of the Executive Council (t;,. Council of tht Archons), he is appointed Comman,:er, inaChief of Epirus, Acarnania, and Etolia. AMSTERDAM, JUNE 18.

He received the name of William Alexa n , der Frederick Ernest Cassimir. VIENNA, JUNE io. Metalliques, 78 Yi—Bank Shares, 757. Juin 11—(By express).—Metalliques, 79--Bank Shares, 770. Jamaica Papers to the 28th of April reached us this morning, by the regular Mail, but they are en tirely barren of intelligence. Some Colombian Ga. zettes, received by the same conveyance, contain several Decrees by the Government of Colombia ; cn,z regulating national and foreign commerce, another the law for designating the arms of the Republic, a law for issuing copper money, and the establi)inea t of a printing-office. By accounts from Havannah, to the 12th instant, it appears that the differences between ITURBIDE and the American Congress are for the present settled.— Subsequent to this compromise, the Congress had in• vested ITURBIDE with the title of Regent of the Kingdom, pro Import, and he had already entered on the functions of his new office. The latest accounts from Hayti represent that country as trans:ail ; the temporary excitement Occa sioned by the landing of the French at Samana had entirely subsided. There has been printed, by order of the House , f Commons, an account of the Commitments under the Game Laws for England (exclusive of Wales), frr)rn 1815 to the Ist of February, 1821, and of the Coa victions in Courts of Justice, &c for offences again,t these laws for the same period. This Paper forms int admirable monument of the humanity of English Country Gentlemen, and the lenity with which th,2v : execute the laws !—lf we allow for the difference ci population, we shall find that nearly as great a num her of persons are thrown into prisons in England fcr offences against the Game LAWS ;done, as in France, for all manner of crimes ! offences !

Lord Sr. HELENS and Sir WILLIAM KEPPEL were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. The Court broke up soon after four o'clock. Yesterday his MAJESTY, -the Duke of YORK, and the Princess AUGUSTA, attended the Chapel Royal, at the King's Palace, St. James's. The lessons, &c. were read by the Rev.

Baron PUFFENOORV, the celebrated Austrian States man, died at Vienna the beginning of this m0..1r, aged eighty years. The Brussels Oracle has printed a letter from a correspondent, who proposes to open a subscription at Brussels for the relief of the poor Irish. "A few yeurs ago (he says) when a part of the population of the Netherlands was suffering extreme distress, the Eng lish generously opened a subscription at London to relieve our unfortunate countrymen, who were re duced to the utmost misery by the extreme tie.m:css of provisions. In this respect," says he, " I always admire England, where such appeals to public bel;e ficence are never made in vain. If it be objected that our own poor suffer, I allow it. But the distress in Ireland is extreme ; the subscriptions even in Lag land seem to be insufficient. One day, peiliaps, it may be our turn, and shall we not be happy to see 10: reign natioas interest themselves in our misfortunes: ' The writer proposes that a Committee be formed ; and regretting his own inability to take the lead in F pious a work, he desires, if the plan should be adopted, to have his name set down for 100 francs, which sum, though trifling, may• perhaps induce other persons more able to unite in promoting the measure. EDINBURGH JURY COURT, JUNE 19.—The c: use. " Lord A. Hamilton against Duncan Stevenson, printer and publisher of the Beacon, came on this day in the Jury Court. Mr. COCKBURN opened the case for the prosecutor, and Mr. M4NEtr. replied for the defender. The Jury retired for half an hour, and re , turned with a verdict finding for the prosecutor, with One Shilling damages.
