visits to the Capets and Bourbons take occasion to rectify 'the policy, and the excesses of their ambi. lain and a HatgaT in remoter ages, and age much nearer our own, left deep the continent, and shewed our rival great achievements could be effected are born to freedom, and animated by independence inspires. In the present . peace, his Britannic Majesty can find no occasion for the displays of that kind, for which those of his predecessors to whom we have referred became resow ned. it is only in the exercise of peaceful arts tmd in the character of the King of a free people that be can be distinguished, and in the latter character be slight glory above all the Sovereigns of the Continent with whom he could meet. He has lately had the &sap iness of allaying the a nimosities of a long divided i swple in one portion of his kingdom; and had his Majesty conciliated in a similar manner, the people of gngiand before his visit abroad, by removing from his Councils the evil-advisers who create dissention between the subjects and the Throne, lie would have se ; an example that would have rendered him illus trious above all the KINGS of the earth. 11111111 111 . 11111 la pay Asir visits of France, and moors of their poli tioo.

Confidence is very ge serally restored in the market, and the report of the int revement in the ensuing quarters' revenue continues to gels ground, and has a very powerful effect in preserv ing the price of the stocks. This day the November accoestopens, and those who are inclined are enabled to carry over their stock. Consols have been done this morning at 77 for the Account. This rise is ascribed to the present favourable aspect of the approaching Ac count, which takes place on the 16th instant. Another subscription of 2001. for Sir Robert Wilson has been announced under the signature of N. We regret to state that the Countess Grey is seri ously indisposed at the seat of the Noble Earl, at Hetrick. Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta is now on a visit to her Royal sister, the Queen Dowager of War temherg, at her Majesty's seat near Stntgard. Extract of a letter from Drogheda, dated Sept. 23 : His Majesty's late visit to Ireland is likely to prove beneficial in more ways than one. What think you of a union between the --, son of an Eng lish Earl, and the danghter of a very respectable per son in trade in this town ? She is both young and pretty, and will not disgrace the situation good fortune has thrown in her way. In my opinion, it is better I. resort to the merchant's store, than the stage, for a wife. We are all delighted at the idea." Lord Beresford, it appears, never held the office of Capitan Mor, as stated in some of the English papers. The statement was copied from a Portuguese journal which gave an account of the abolition of the office. Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated Sept. 14:— It has been determined that a new silver eels of the value of Mrs. (nearly 25.) shall be streek ;—these coins ae to be called constitutionals. On the 13th ins ant, the B shop of Rivas, a member of the Cortes, was interr •d with much form, in the Church of saint Dona'niek. To-morrow a splendid subscrip tion dinner is to be given to the soldiers in garri son bore. It is to take place in the public gardens, which have been fitted up with great taste for the occasion. The trees are to be hung with transpa rent lamps, to be lighted in the evening. On the same day, the first stone of a national monument, to comme morate the revolution, is to be laid in Rocio-square. The windows of this square are already hung with scarlet silk fringed with gold. Only well-dressed persons are to be admitted to the gardens on the occasion.—All the Portuguese vessels in the harbour are to fire a royal salute; those vessels that have not guns are to be supplied from the arsenal.—A splendid monument is erecting in the square, now called the Square of the Constitution, at Oporto.—The base is composed of 7 circular steps ; the lower is 25 feet in diameter. On this is to be erected a pillar, surmounted by a globe and crown ; the whole to be 191 yards in height. Oa the top of the steps, and leaning on the base of the pedestal, is to be placed a figure representing Lusi tania, bearing a scroll, on whic's is to be inscribed the words, Constitution—Religion—Law — Natios --. King. On one side of the Pedestal the following WI scription is to appear in large letters.—" PORTO, Aso gust 24th, 1820."—The other sides are alto to bear suitable inscriptions. The Cortes is proceeding deliberately but firmly in the work of reforming the abuses of the late Government and consolidating the new institutions. The Grenville Bay, *William, from Davis-straits whale fishery, has been seized by the Excise officers at North-shields, for some illicit transaction connected with the spirits taken out from thence for the ships upon her voyage. v Bowron, Sm. 4.--(From Banta).---Capt. Johnson, of the Madeira packet, arrived at this port yesterday. reports that a few days previous to his leaving Bahia, I the Brazilians made a faint attempt to declare them serves independent ; that great distrust and suspicion prevailed, and the European Portuguese were waiting with the greatest anxiety for the arrival of 3000 troops. expected from Lisbon. The Brazilians were very jealous of their rights, and spoke publicly of deposing their rulers.---(Patriot.) We have the pleasure of announcing this week the election, to the office of Recorder to this Borough, of Daniel Sykes, Esq. our worthy Representative in Par liament. The appointment, we understand, has been unanimous on the part of the Corporation, and made and accepted on terms equally honorable to all sides. Rockinghans.) Among the other projects of the General Post-Of fice, we understand that it is in contemplation to ran a mail coach direct from Aberdeen toOlasgoegthrough Stratusore, Perth, and Stirling t and another from Aberdeen to Focbabers, by loverury, Huntly, and Keith. CURIOUS CALCULATION.—By a Parliamentary St turn, it appears, that the annual. consumption of British spirits by each person, in most of the northern counties of Scotland, stands at from one-tooth to two tenths of a gallon, while, in the county of Edinburgh, it is within &trifle of four gallons. TBB RIGHT HON. BBCRETARY GRANT. (110 K THE IRISHMAN, lELPAST man, SEPT. 28.) In our Paper of the 31st ult. we said that we sus pected that " Party arts scotched, not killed." We added, that an inspeclon of Yeomanry took place in Lisburn, on the 25th of last August, and that the Ballioderry corps marched into town, with a Lieute nant at their head, playing party tames. A complaint was sent to the Chief Secretary, to ascertain whether Government would countenance such a proceeding. — This communication was made by an inhabitant of Lisburn, to whom the people of that town, and we will say more, the people of the North, are most deeply in debted. Mr. Wm. John Hancock wrote to the Chief Secretary of Ireland, stating the above circumstance, and that very distinguished and highly esteemed in dividual sent the following reply:— " Dublin Castle, 26th Sept. 1921. " Sts-1 have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Letter of the 25th ultimo, and to thank you for the trouble you have taken in conveying the information it contained, which 1 lost no time iu submitting to the Lord Lieutenant. His Excellency having accordingly directed an immediate communication to be held with the Brigade Major of Yeomanry, in the view to the special investigation of the matter, his Excellency has the satisfaction to find from his reply, that the tunes in question were inadvertently played, without any inten non of giving offence, but such instructions have been Issued as will, it is expected, fully guard against.* law occurrence in future.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, C. GRANT. " W. J. Hancock, Esq. Lisburn." This is acting. Here there is no profession. It is acting. It is not like the time-serving venal place nta% going about and about and never coming at the thing to be obtained. It is acting. It is keeping the premise to the heart which was made to the ear. It is worthy of Mr. Grant, and admirably illustrative of his Royal master's letter, signed by Lord Sidmouth. It is the bringing the principle of that admirable letter into full operation. We have beard of a person called Col. Blacker, being lately made a Grand Master of an illegal association. Can this be the fact, in the face of the government, as well as the laws of his country, —aye, and in the face of the King himself, who order ed the hydra of sedition to his den ? Let Lord Talbot and Mr. Grant go on thus, and they will have six millions and a half of Irishmen to protect and defend their government. and not the miserable monopolist fair, who created rebels at the moment they were hallooing and proclaiming their own loyalty. We congratulate Ireland on this document, and now call upon the proprietors of the Neva-Letter and Belfast ChroHicle to circulate it as far as lies in their power. Sure we are that every honest paper in the British Em pire will be glad to copy it. THE IRISHMAN. 4.NSI®R►R OF MR. PATRICK ALICLOUGHLIN , OF LONDON, TO BIS COUSIN, MUILTIOUGII O'BLANST, OF DUBLIN ' S LIT MSS, TUBLISISID IN TIM STATZSMAN, DURING TIM WING'S assiDaNcs IN IBILAND. —•••■■••-. Your letters, my dear Consist, were regularly answered by the newspapers. 1 was aware that would Nave fa the exposes of postag*, which would have been shies TwaLve Hoes ; that would frank you at the rate of three tumblers &night for a whole fortnight. Yon know. Cousin. there is nothing like a close fist in bad times. But I could not get over answering your last, in propris persona, as we say in Greek. Talking of the Greeks. by the steeple of Saint Paul, they'll give the Turks as much trouble as the King's letter has done the old Delzos, and I'll reiterate your old prayer fervently. " Oh! bad luck to the Crawleys." You desire me to tell you all about the King since he left you. Troth, my dear Cousin, we saw no more of kin than we did of the Grand Turk. The humbugs keep him shut up, as if he was afraid to mix with the people here. What a difference he makes with his Irish ;Mende. There he was always in the thick of you. Oh! Marthough, you remember when I came first to this country, the word was Irish Rebel, Irish sedition and treat" &c. &c. &c.; and the very same vagabones say now. the Irish are the most loyal people in the world. What do you think of that ? But, I would no more be lieve their words than you would the Major's oath. To make the story short, so little did our newspapers know of his Majesty's movements, that they sent him to Hanover three days before he l•ft London. When he did go, they bad soldiers planted at every town on the road as he proceeded, as if they dreaded the people would eat him. At Canterbury there were some geese (Tear.' a grand salote ; but at Ramsgate he became the guest of Alderman Grogblossom, whom you have seen at the last shew in Dublin. He was Commodore of the Fleet, and accompanie.l his Majesty to Calais. where be landed and gave the French soldiers 600 bot tles of claret, and all sort of good living, beside 4.. 64, a-piece in bard cash, and they called out, " Long live the King of England," in Irish ; but the women could not get a peep at him ; he was housed up as usual; yet you'll allow my dear Murtough that was charitable in his Majesty, as it would have been a pretty peep if they had all fallen in love with him. Then what could he do for the German ladies among whom he is going to pick out a loving mate, to make him happy for life? I must leave his Majesty on his journey and take a touch at the times which are here bad enough. As bad as they are, I would not have you think that the Ramsgate Commodore was Sir Roger of that name, nor like him, for he is dead long ago. Arndt, ;far tough, honey, I forgot to tell you there were a few English people at Calais who wanted to sing God save the Kiog' before his hotel, though some say the English who made themselves fools there, wpm all Irish.; but the noise was soon hushed by the soldiers - who drank the 600 bottles of wine, and all was peace from the teeth out. But between you and I, cousin, they don't like a bone in his Majesty's skin; however, you 'do, and that's all the same: and another thiag ie. yea have a right ao de ow. ISP pee down with you, the basest and the most profligate scoundrels on the face of the earth, except the SLOP GANG.— Oh. bad luck to the Crawley's. Amen a hierugh, so I filed some of the papers in this country have been faulting the extreme of Irish Loyalty. I will tell them as I have done, that if the Irish were treated in 97 as they have been this year, they would have bees equally loyal, and there would have been no rebellion in 98. But we are told here that loyalty will not last long, that old divisions will be re-kindled, and my countrymen as disturbed as ever; that I do notbelieves at least, I hope never to bear of the ultra faction rising their heads here or there. Should the Clovers meat use the Irish well they will be grateful. The word is, " Gentle when strok'd, but fierce when pre coked;" but should it be otherwise, " tread on a worm and it will bite." Your own blackguard news papers are often the conveyancers of palpable false hoods to this Country, for if two boys berm to boa in Ireland, they would make it a big row; and if a few met, a little over charged with the ereature, sad should scratch one another with a bit of shillelagh, it would be converted into a rising of the country and a threat of martial law. Believe me my dear Cousin, the hackney scribes here, would omelet it lose by the carriage, so that your venial errors we here converted into modal sins; and I dread it will take half a century to come, before the old prejsdiees against Ireland will be obliterated. That old bessef paper The &ening Post with you, is hard at wirsig hr reply to the Scotch and English press which is Idle angry with the Irish people ; bat you have 1111111.111111 that in good stile. In your letter to me, you said, if** King had the rogues march beat at the tail of the M----r yeomanry, the Slop-gang branded is the forehead—the villainous papers published here, burnt at Temple-bar by the common hangman. then would his Majesty be as popular here as he was in Ireland. Oh, rtbe devil a word of lie is in it Murthough. That is as true as that he deals with humbugs, but you Pot Wage say for Whigs or Tories, it bodthers'as all, it shaves them without soap, and they dos% Ilk. it. Ni speaks of the row at Astley's, on a piece &halm King in Dublin, which was here damned, shimmies*/ Ki ng inLoodon at Drury-lane has been very Fraw ley,* the treasury; these are ticklish occurrences. I =ppm die next piece will be the King at Hanover. There ill levy him and turn back to The Dublin Evening Pest, which has inserted a paragraph from a shabby Evening Paper here, now upon its last legs. When thaterawl ' ing thing headed an article with POPISH INFLU ENCE, the source of such filthy farrago could be soon traced to the columns of a nasty vehicle of slander, set up hereby an Orange Lord, who lives upon the country as one of those worthy props of the state, called Sinecure Placemen, who, like the Irish augers, dole out their loyalty by the number of dis tillers that keep them in pay. But mind that, my cousin, the people are every day growing wiser, and acknowledge that if we have wings we fly to their Insistence when they are in trouble. Yon give the. 'thafit and lean you ought to eat yourselves; you semi Tose rent to be spent here by a set of absentees who Amid spend what you give them amongst yes. In stead of which they often forget your interests in order to forward their own; but if the King takes an annul tour to the kind of potatoes, you will have the scam absentees Auk back to you like the wooScocks, in this . month, who come frail Norway to eajoF the sweets of a western sunshine.

The Scotchmen who supported a blackguard paper called The Beacon have gives it Op ; it shelve that the vagabones in the North are not so hard ened as thosa in the South, who are like' a Iran with a broken crutch on his last legs. Remember me to all our friends in Dublin. and tell them t am the same friend as when I left them, and that there are a fine set of boys here, who love liberty as you do Whiskey punch, and in time expect as fully to enjoy it.

The whole of the ornaments ate of highly burnished gold ; as are the fluted columns against which terminate the partitions of the private boxes. These columns rest on pedestals formed of looking glass imbedded in fratne , of rich matted gold. The pedestals reflecting and multiplying the light from the central lustre, produce a very Fleming and lively effect.

These respectable gentlemen, in numerous hordes, get perched about the King's Bench, Fleet, and other prisons where the unfortunate inmates of these recep tacles of human woe send forth their remaining goods and clothing, to.raise a scanty subsistence from the ava ricious fangs of the charitable Pawn-broker. The goods so deposited are hooked upon as condemned, and turned into account as soon as possible, and if they should, per chance, remain one year, and that terminate on a Sun day. and the pledge can be redeemed, the goods are lost to the unfortunate, and the worthy Pawn-broker (should he redeem on Monday) pockets the difference in value. There is such a string of impositions practised, that I shall place them In proper order and form, and apprise the public of the nefarious methods taken to rob them. One might naturally suppose the enormous rate of in terest allowed by Act of Parliament, would be sufficient to proiide horses and carriages for these conscientious gentlemen; but, no, it would be worse than nonsense to loose 30 years in making a fortune, when the thing can be done so handsomely in half the time. I remember to have had Pawn-brokers' tickets deposited in my hands, and when I went to a shop not far from Smithfield, I complained that the sum charged for interest was above 25 per cent. An unlicked cub, with rings upon his filthy fingers, scoffingly replied—" Oh!! we often charge 35 per cent." At another time, I had two tickets of two similar articles, pledged the same day, at two shops not far from Fleet-market. I waited on the two conscientious gentlemen, one of whom charged me 2s. 63• interest more than the other. I remonstrated on an over charge, but to no purpose. 1, at once, insisted on see ing the master, with whom, after much ado, I was, by special favour, allowed an interview. I 'hewed him my book, wherein the same article was charged 2s. 6d. less : he apologised for the ignorance of his shopman, and re turned the half-crown. Let the gentle reader look at that ! lam in possession of many more cases, which I intend to arrange and submit to your impartial columns, as the most efficacious mode of exposing an evil of great magnitude, which bears so hardly upon the most distressed portion o f his Majesty's subjects. lam not one that would deprive any trades man of his honest profits, but I would prevent a bungq set of avaricious vultures from preying upon the vitals of misery and misfortune. These are my motives for re-' questing a corner of your independent journal, which bas so long and so sammestally eembased the real elm. mies of the people. SAM SPOUT. Snow-hill, October 1, 1921. A letter by the Brasil mail received yesterday I states, that autheatic intelligence bad been received from Valparaiso, that Sir Thomas Hardy had come to the determination not to allow the British vessels de tained by Lord Cochrane to be condemned, and that the blockade of the coast could not be allowed. Lord Cochrane is stated to have entered the port of Arica, and given the place up to - be plundered by the Chaise squadron. The East India Company's chartered ship Moira, from Bengal, arrived in the Downs on Saturday, and proceeded for the River yesterday. The chartered ship Lady Carrington, also from Bengal. arrived in the Downs yesterday afternoon. The +company's regular skip Marquess Camden arrived at Bombay the 21st of May. The Court of Directors of the flaet India Company, possessing by the Al l is of the British Legislature fall powers and authority to contras' all British subjects in China, have declared that the residing of soy per sons in China the whole year. is a practice they will by no means permit. The advocates for free trade, and especially the sherchantl trading to China by no means relish the steam which the Court has given to the above elect. PRI 1:0 7 rn r •;.,
