_ :;~ ,„ 0 , 1 , 11 ,1, in a (:.:y or too. It is highly interesting, es i g otance of the progress of intellect in what have been off' reed the most barren soils. We I ave received from Air. Buckingham a copy of hi saveryondenee with the Indian Government, retative to * is persetntion which he endured, in consequence of having • l ode a more liberal use of the liberty of the press, than the G ave rnrecnt of Calcutta was willing to tolerate. We hive sot vet had tires to p•►aae the documents with sufficient attention :--hut we shall take an early opportunity of w aiting such ex•rscts as may be requisite to illustrate the es we conceive it to be a most imperious duty to do all in our power to maintain the freedom of the Ines., It4ii at borne and abroad, as the security the world pos. selses against the projects of the Holy Alliance. We are sa tisfied that no Government ought to.be tolerated, which the most extensive freedom of the press could input , . If they cannot stand together, we say let tt? Government fall ; for it is not worth the keeping.— We are a little surprised at the open advance which des potism has made in India. We know that the yoke was ern the neck of the natives—but we were not aware that British subjects were not entitled to British liberties in India. To proclaim that the Indian Government, is a direel tyranny, is, we thick, a very unwise proceeding ; as* the British residents there stay out have made up their minds to forfeit their pretensions to their birthright free. dons; and then. may we ask, what would become of the. Alovernment, if its Own agents should desert it? If the Court of Direcors saw this matter in its true light, they would hverfere to prevent such dangerous strides, and tell their Governors General that they must not endanger their possessions to gratify a lust of power, or a criminal dread of honest censure. Despatches, transmitted by an estqfeile, by way of Dover, were received yesterday :leaning at the Foreign Other, Downing-street. The Mediterranean p leket arrived yesterdav, having been ordered at Gibraltar to danch at Ca4ix, and land her bitter., and take on board thase intended for England. On making the harbour at Ca•liz, she was fireil at by the French eruis-ra, and having fallen to leeward, compelled to enure to an *mime near the Admiral's ship, in the Ray of Rota,lste in the evening. The wind hloaing fre.h. the French did not sends boat on hoard the packet till the r. xt morning, when they asked the Captain, why he sought to ent-r a blockaded port? lla answered, that be was ordered to enter Calls, and be was nnaware of any black:vie ; he the.% gave in a protest against the act of hostility committed against him; in not allowing him to enter the harbour, and c ane away with all his corre.ponsl 'nee on board. Letters brintelit by her state, that on the' tith'ult. a siren! Levant wind commenced, and blew three days, which enabled many vessels to make the barb •nr. and among them, it is reported, one from Ila stemma's, with a large sum of money on hoard, presented to the Govern ment by the inhabitants of Cabo. No Ics.s than 15 Spanish gunboats were plying about. Extract of a letter from Paris, Angnst 24—" The schism between the Doke il'Angostlrme and the. Regency has an completely infected the ;public opinion, that the animosity of both parties, Conationionalists; soil liot:alists, is at its height agaiutit the French; an I the unhappy Peninsula tut little advanced to cards peeiliration after all the blood and trea.nre that have leen expended. Notwit ;standing this, the Regency win get money. thane) the intended loan of fifty milhans hare been Danced to thirty, which is positively taken. Gerhardt set air on the 26th. in the evening, for Madrid, taking furor millions:at leas t with him as his first payment. —Every thing 'more in.heates a fall in the rentes, and it is Golub:lie by those very likely to judge correctly, that the mi.managrament or f diner of the Spawsli campaign will very shortly put Viilcle and Co. oat of the Alitmistry." .7*Extraaortmmartv Ilantrite.--+The•f7trzette of last night does not contain the snnonhrcrment of a single bank env. — This is a very rare orentrenee. it has h a ppen. si only twice within the la.t thirty years. The /veto Times, this morning. clanekles on the occasion, and tells the croaking Radicals to behtsld it, and be mortihed. Time conning scribe is aware, all thewhile, that this aonearance of the Gavette is no more evidence or the lark of insolvents in the reentry; than the drily of the Iterorsler's Report, from the Kisg bring at Windsor or Brighton, is a proof that three are no malefactors to be hanged. IN knows that the Lord CbaneePor is now in Dorsetshire, and is, for a amusing himself in the pursuit of other sport than that of signing Rankrupte commissions ; hut it is well known that though the profitable game of dockets appear to he neglect. ell for a season, they arc all secure in prcserres ; and every head will, in due tittle, be knocked down, and help to fill Me tags. Mr. Secretary Peel has made a formal cammnnication to the agent of Sir Oorge Jerniogham, stating, drat no op , position will be made on the part of the Crown to Sir Grorges claim to the Barony of Stafford. In consequence of Oda notification, as soon as time necessary preliminaries ' the claim can he carried through the forms of toe hlonse •of Lords, this ancient title will make its re-appearance in !hri Peerage. Some awkwardness may arise from the ex. lstence of the Barony and the Marqnisate of Stafford, het we pregame the difficulty w ill be solved by the hlarqness assuming what is understood to be the original title con 'fermi upon him, that of Staffordshire. The emirs of the Earl of Buckinghamshire and the Marquess of Buckingham are nearly a precedent for this. Previously to the Marquess of Buckingham's creation, the Earl was commonly terumed Earl of Buckingham. The Great Basin and Pork, at Sheerness, the ch. d'cerore of the late Mr. lteunie, are to Le opened at half on hoar before soon on Friday next, lw noising the Howe, of ' 120 pans, and the Hercules, of 74, into the Basin, and afterwards into the Dodo. The Lords of the Admiralty. and the Navy and Victualling Boards, will be present, and willeatertam his Royal Higbn.tss the Duke of Clarence at. a breakfast on board the Howe, 120 guns, which is to be the first ship decked. The early hoar at whicl4 the tide serves for the operation will, we suppose, diminish the umber of 'lifters from London, who, to be in time, must • have town at six in the morning.

IRgI.AND. STATE OF THE COUNTRY-THE INSURRECTION - ACT. [PROM THE BELFAST NEW3•LETTER.] Extract of a letter from a very respectable correspondent, wt:o vouches its until. " About ten o'clock at night, on Monday, the 25th inst. four Roman Catholics. from the nei'ghbourboo . d of Swatragh. on their return with loads of grabs from Co:..raine market, were waylaid in Ahadooey, by a number of ruffians, who were armed with bludgeons, and. as a distinguishing uni form, had laid aside their coats. Two of the strangers were able to make their escape, having receive I a few hlo vs ; the other two. being old men, were not so fortunate, but were unmercifully beaten, and left in the ditch " for dead."— The ruffians nett attacked the loads, cut all theirsacks into stripes, spilled tkeir grain, and had broken one car, when fortunately Mr. O. Sampson happened to ride up, at the noise of whose horse's feet they withdrew. Ale. Sampson stopped, and giving his horse to a little boy, who came np shortly after, went to sune of the neighbouring houses, but the inhabitants, either unwilling or afraid, declined giving any assiwance. Some women, who were looking out for the return of their own friends, came to the spot, in whose charge Mr. S. left the ears, and rode off to the next village, where he procured some sacks; hut, previous to his retnrn, the oulfians had pel , ed the bee and women away stab stones. This oo deterred those trim Caine with Mr. S. to assist, that thev could not he persuaded to pro ceed further, until he galloped to the spot whence thestones were thrown, and stood g nord whilst the grain was gather ed np. llreeof the poor on'e's loads were by this means for the greater part saved, but the horse of the 'forth hay. in proceeded farther, the greater part of his grain was lost on the road; and the owner bring severely beaten, they nage left all night in the nearest Weise, the other three Mr. Sampson brought on with him to (lamer. " It would appear from the description of th e p ersons , and the clothes of those who so barbarously treated these unsus p e cting a nd onotfending strangers, that they are em ployed in some of the neighbouring bleach-greens. IVe trust, therefore, that the gentlemen of Aliadocrey will with out delay mike every inquiry and exertion to bring to pun ishment the perpetrators of an act so disgraceful to their neighbourhood. COUNTY KILIPARt. (Na as.)—The Special Ses t iinng, na• der the Insurrection Art, tbr the county of Kildare, took ' place in this town loot we-k. Four persons were convicted —the lino, one Kelly, a tailor, near 240 years old, who, being at some distance (loin home, slept at a customer's house; it was said that he h td a bad character ever since 1795, and lie was sent off from the dock in a post chaise, with an escort. The second was a Me. Kenny, a wealthy farmer, who was found in a public bonne after nine o'clo c on Saturtlae, the 9th of Angot-t; there were two others with him, one of tin-in to receiv- his wages; the other, a man to whom he gave a pint of b er after his day's work; they were 01 found guilty, though eeeellent characters were given of them. There were many others in the dock who were acquitted. beiu.r taker) on the high road, with their drays awl horses, returning from market. It was expected that the Justice-4 would memorial tioverionent, and have the County relieved from the operation of this dreadful Act, as the County is perferly quiet, and no ontrsge has been cowl tnitted—no step of the kind was, however, taken. We cannot helm railing the general attention to the great hard ships inflicted by it on industrious and respectable persons. Here was a crowd of persons seized on the high road, with %heir sacks, carts, an I horses, returning from market, where alone they could sell their prodnte —it is true e'er were acquitted, lint what hiss of time, property, and com fort did tit .y incur—what alarm to their wives and farm. lies? Who were the people to try, when so Tu l ey Magi,- ' testes assembled ? an old tailor, for sleeping at a custom •T's house; and a respectable farsurr for giving a drink of beer to two labourers on Saint-day evening. We hear rho at the very saute time the Justices and their families were Oct ail eiaht at balls and suppers. It may truly he said that in Ivelamil there is one law for the poor, and another for the rich. WINDson CASTLE.-- . 1 he apartments which will be oe copied by his Majesty in Windsor Castle. his Makers 0 State, and the Royal Household, are the southern sal eastern sides of ib:it spacious fabric. The roams on the ground floor are prepared for the various officers of tho establishment, awl three have all been painted and oapered, and fitted up with suitable furniture, which was remain ing in the Castle, or has been collected from the Queen's Lodge, Cumberland Lodge, &c. The apartments on the second floor will be occupied by the King an a his visitors. The suite of rooms more especially devoted to his Majesty, are these formerly occupied by the Queen and the Princess Elizabeth. These are lofty and spacious, and have been very handsomely fitted up and furnished, under the di rection of Mr. Brent. of the Lord Steward's office. They command the most beautiful views over the threat Perk, Cooper's Hill, and the surrounding country. The Music Boom and the Dining Room are also preparing for public .entertainments, On State occasions, his Majesty will bold his Court in the splendid apartments whirl, are now shown to the public. On the northern side, the kitchen, silver scullery, pastry, and other offices have been repaired ; and by the removal of several purtitio is. a very handsome room, with a fine ancient groineil ceiling, has neon pre pared as a servant's hall. The Upper or Queen's Lodge is immediately to be sold, by order of the Surveyor-Bene ral of his Majesty's Board of Works. By its removal the fine views of the forest will he opened to the Castle-hill, and magnificent avenue of the Lone Walk will attain that object for which it must have been planted. viz. as a road to the Castle. The improvements adjoininy Westminster Hall will in clude a passage from the intended new Courts opening into the main avenue of both Houses of Parliament. The Mew' bers' Servants' Room, and the Committee Room over it, bare been cleared away to make the openiog. We understand that the house occupied by the Board of Trade, adjoining the Treasury Passage, Whitehall, is to be immediately pulled down, aid a new and more convenient building erected on its suite. As the new offices are not expected to be finished in less than two or three years, the Lords Commissioners will, in the meantime, meet at the new premises in threat George-street. The workmen removing the stone and flint walls of the old House of Lords, have found that ancient work so firmly cemented,as to require wedges and sledge hammers to move it. The square stone is discoloured like the old materials!. of Henry VI Itb's Chapel, and the internal part pulverised. The fiat and cement uu the contrary, he still a hard and firm substance, bidding defiaoce, as it were, to We power of time.

ONE PARISH VESTRY v. FOUR INNS OF COURT. 4m.a.111110.6. " The beg!anlr: of strife Is as the letting out of tratera."--Sotornon. A curious contest is Commencing in the Parish of St. Clement Danes. The Gentlemen of the Vestry, it appears. have the hardihood to encounter the Gentlemen of the Law. in all the four Inns of Court in that Parish. The point brought into dispute is. whether the w atch rate s h o uld be enforced against the Inhabitants of these Inns. About sixty years ago an Act of Parliament was passed, to compel', ell who benefit by the watch and ward of the Parish to contribute to its support; but the Societies of the Inns having been accustomed to watch their own dwellings. none of the Vestries bad hitherto charged them for a service. which the parish watchmen had never performed. An Idea, notwithstanding, has oc cured to the present Vestry, that however these Societies may watch themselves, there are reasons why they oeght to he seettei:ed; and it seems to be the wish of the leaders of this parish that they shall either watch the Inns, or be paid a watch rate by the inhabitants, with out doing the service. To neither side of this alternative do the inhabitants of the Inns incline; and the Society 4 Clements' Inn, have already, by way of demurrer, determined to close their gates at nine o'clock every evening. By this preliminary step, hostile in effect, though founded in right and conformable to law. the public are deprivedlof a convenient thoroughfare; and the inhabitants of the avenues and of a nrighhourir.g market, are ob structed in their trade. But this is not all the pri vations that are apprehended: Lincoln's Inn Is another important pass, in the line of communication between the parish and the north eastern pins of the town; and its garden has for time immemorial' been liberally opened as • safe and pleasant airing ground to the' nurselings of all respectable families in the vicinity. On the, nee of these advantages, invidious restrictions •are; ex pected to be soon imposed ; while to balance the losses of the parish in these respects, it has been calculated that the whole benefit to La derived from levying the watch-rate on the inhabitants of the Inns, would br a saving to each househulder of only one farthing a week SCOTLAND. .....ope...— SPANISB SUBSCRIPTIONS, PAISIAT.--(FROM A CORRI SPONDSNT.)—We formerly intimated that a subscription had been opened in Paisley in aid of Spanish independence. It gives us great pleasure now to state, that upitards of 1201. have already been subscribed there, and that the Committee have also received WI. 16s. col:ected in Barr- - t; -- n - d - neighbourhood, and 31. 12s. 7d. Co in head a derslie.— (Glasgow Chroaecle) Since the removal of the restrictions on the trade hetween Brest Britain and Ireland, large quantities of Irish call. cues have been sold both here anil in 31.snchester. The trade is very likely to increase, os notwithstanding the low wages pail here, they are greatly lower in Ireland. It seems probable that, instead of the poor Irish coming here to weave, they will now obtain work at home, and that their wages will become somewhat higher.—(Mid) The tenters and dressers in the power haunt factories bare refused to concur in the regulations published on Saturday last, and the woks, containing about 300 looms, continue shot up. The leaders of the combination are likely to do their t•ilowers a great deal of injnry, as numbers of weavers have already made application fur their employment. The number ituplicated in the combination do net mach exceed 350; bat they throw idle all the wea vers, and those engaged in the other departments of the factories ; and the money earned by the whole, amounts to about 3,6001. a week, a suns which it is impossible they can lung subsist without. There is at present a large stock of goods in the market, and the profit in the ousnotacture has not bees. so great as to'make the present stoppage an affair of moment to the proprietors.(ibist ) Some time since, a gentleman on horseback, dressed in white truwsers, blink vest, blue coat, and round hat, at tempted to pass the Gallowette toll-bar. The tacksinan intimated his determination io detain him till he paid the usual duty. This the gent 0111411 refused, stating that he was a surgeon ill the army, atm that he was going to Ha milton by the orders of his commanding officer, at the saute t i me ex h l bring toe order. The toil:nun stated, that having been frequeutly deceive! by people who pretended to belong to the uoittary. he was resolved to allow no person to pass in future unless they were in full unildrin. with arms and accoutrements, agreeably td the /let of Parliament. The surgeon paid the toll, arid passed on. Having lodged a coin. plaint of the circumstance with the Procure or Fiscal. a Isniniuons was sent to the tecksinau, at his instance. for ex aciing the toll from a person belonging to the army. On -Tuesday se'nnight the case came before two jastices, who found that the tacksman is josoiti-91 in levying the toll from ever y p e rson nut in full military uniform, aud dismissed the complsint.—(t.icstgow Courier.)

The highlands of Perthshire have lately been overrun by rats. The lowlands used to he the favourite residence of this enterprising species of vermin; but within the last two or three years they pushed their settlements in tine district of Strathsay, Appin of Dull, Fortingall, and Breadalhane, most am singly. During the present season, they have been known to devour whole litters of pigs and broods of poultry ; and Mothers begin to apprehend danger from them to their helpless intatits.—(Duadee Advertiser.) Last week, as some people were engaged in pulling down the roof of a very old thatched tenement in the . Castle-wyn I, St. Andrew's, Scotland. they discovered pair of plot which had been thrust itdo the thatch, for use sa k e of concealment. They are evidently of foreign make. nearly two Met in length, silver mounted, but very much corroded, and no date call be visited upon them. What renders them objects of inserest to the coricris, is the singular pectilistrity in the construction of the locks, very diderent (rout those of modern manufacture. On Monday last (25th ult.) whilst souse workmen were employed in removing stone, from a cairn, formerly of large dimensions, on ibe west end of the hill of 1.7, tzeli, they accidentally discovered a stone chest or coffin contain ing an urn, and several small pieces of human bones. The Chest, contrary to the position in which these relics of an tiquity ace usa Illy found, was lying nearly due south and north ; it was about live feet in lengthy about 18 inches in breadth, and neatly paved with stones, over which was laid a quantity of very small pebble.. The urn is in possession of Mr. Wyllie, Alaius of Js izell.--u:Caledoniau Mercury.) On Friday week a jury was summoned at Pettycur, to as certain the value of one acre and a quarter of the island of Inchkeith, past of the entailed property of the Duke of Bucclench, and purchased by the Commissioners of the Northern Lights, for the use of the light-house and its ma nagers. The price was in the shape of a fetal duty of ground rent, which was fixed at tw:dity pounds sterling yearly. The whole island at this rate, would be well worth three or four thousand pounds a-year ! We doubt if it will ever yield as many pence, setting aside this profitable acre.— OMR/WOO FORFARSUIRIL—WaIter Graham and James Cameron are charged with circulating forged bank-notes. Graham and Cameron having turced on their trial under the act 1701, were put to the bar of the High Court of Justiciary on the 7th of July. The trial was put off till the 12th, when ano ther postponement took place to give time to debate smile i technical objections to the indictment. When the panels were placed at the bar on the 280 i, the Solicitor General oh. served that Graham had contrived to disguise himself, chiefly by changing tae colour of his hair (rout black to a dirty red; and again their case was adjourned to afford time to establish the prisoner's identity.

About ten o'clock, the ap pretence of the fair threatened great disappointment to the hoilday folks, by the very few booths that predented them•elves to the view. In about an hour, however, (limits, arid Giantesses, Dwarfs awl Dwarfrssrs, with all the usual weeders, were displayed to the great gratification of the gaping multitude. At ten minutes after twelve the ringing of hells and the binds from the different booths announced the approach of the Lord 111...y0r, who proceeded to proclaim the fair in the usual manner.
