814 to conclude, that the possesAon of arable land is hurt ful to the cottager; put that his condition is moat ilia. Aerially improved by possessing is gardes and land fur one or two lows. The esparnaesst h2e* ex tensively tried by the Earl of Winchelsta;—there arc from seventy to eighty labourer,: vim his estates its Rust indshire, who keep from ore to four cows each ; .and of all his tenants these men are the most punoual with their rents. Lord Winchelsea asserts, front expe rience, that nothing is so beneficial both to them and the lauelludders as this system; that the labourers and their Candies, lining better, are consequently moos side to oaadttre lehour ; that they arc contented with their aituation, and awaited to it ; that having aopiired -port of independence, which makes them set a higher value upon their character, they arc generally con- • aidered in the neighbourhood as men the most to be de pended upon and trusted ; that feeling the advantage apt • Mg a little, their industry is extinel by hope, • that when a labourer halt obtained a cow, and land itufacient to maintain her, his nest thought is to awe money eoulagb for buying another. The experiment wits tried *ha in Wiltshire, in a parish omtaining 149 goer persons, divided into 32 families, chiefly employed its labourers in husbandry. Having suffered greatly /luring the high price of provisions in 1801, it was pro pooed to them that they should make an effort to better their circumstances, and occupy, at a fair rent, such a suantity of lama as each tinnily could cultivate without nmpruperly interfering with. their usual labour, and lee, well summed ; the land was to be forfeited if they peceived any relief from the parish, except medical assistance, or ender the militia lews. The proposal was gladly accepted by all who could possibly accept it.; and the consequenee was, that the poor-rates, which, in the last out months betbre the experiment was made, Ned anympted to girl. 16s. amounted, three years igterFarda, in the site corresponding months of winter, iioose part of this great difference is, of *some, attributable to the scarcity in the first year; Ott 4he tiut that these families had before been whargeable to the parish, and that noue of them wore' ogliorgealale aka r they had been thus enabled to assist 1 00 11 11Olarelt, prtwes iocontegibly that no better moans tea be devised for improving the condition of the ipppicoluaral poor. The utmost quantity of land thus lipped was an acre and a half, of which the fourth iprt M winter was planted with potatoes, the rest elms ha era or in garden cultivation ; and this topmissatt *hews that even amble land is not 4paro Nertfui to the cottager. Of all means of min . - ..wing rya pon4rttion, this has been found the most Ihanefisial; the children are thus educated to husbandry, 4o the enre of the cattle, and the management of the 4y; *bile they arc thus healthful and usefully 4conght up, they are better fed; Ills father employs 4lpse loom is hopeful and thereGire willing occupation, *hit would otherwise be idly or injuriously spent, and fool; ouch solid apisfaetion at the close of day by his iitou fire side. that the alehouse halt out no temptation . qu him; and the mother has that enjoyment in her off lpting, which, in the right order of things, has ben , :ippousted by a benevolent Creator, instead of feeling, - .is .too often the unnatural state of the miserably 'poor, that their existence is horthensome to their .paranta, and calamitous for themselves.

They have been lad to very groat eacesses against the ltewivet,of the Cuotputs, tiro* whom they have taken Zara stuns. 6overal Custom? house Officers having made resistance, were victims to their seal. The Jamssariesrevemzell the death of seve ral of their comrades by unheard o't cruelties, and finaley they burnt several Government ships and magazines after pillaging them. The dague has ceased its ravages: but the anarchy in which the revolt of the Janissaries has plunqed Smyr na, is an evil perhaps worse than the former, for preser vative forces are wanted. A Turkish squadron is expec ted with troops to renew the garrison. it is to be feared, however, that the Janissaries will not give up the place. A person named Jasan Ekelbi acts a conspicuous part in this business. The mall, who has performed the meimest otiiccs in the. Seraglio, aspires to summit power.
