I hope it is true ; bit I am inclined Ihnitslek otherwise. He ;ethos from office in Ire- Md.- and if report be correct, purposes to spend snore years than one en the Continent. if his opi.; Piens are changed, why not manfully tell the world that it is the case? If be bar become the friend of out unhappy country, why not httend his Perlis. iseetary duties, and by advocating the cause of 'joy. licit end truth, and the °porringer! (this Would be reed. leg his recantation, as Mr. Giffard perhaps would Say), prove to the world that he is something of a great and good man ? But he go.s to the Continent, and this only says fur him that he has not at present *efficient nerve or courage to disavow his former con. duct and opinions. .But perhaps it is the tines that are altered, sot M.r. Peel. He could even yet, if he pleased, at a small *splines, purchase true pope. • Why. He hasonseadertcstes; but can his warmest panegyrist say .thst , lta did any thing deserving of .Pl4/free gratitude while he held the reins bf Geoleeta wit in his hands ?—O yes! he had a fallingoot with the beggarly" Corporation" about a picture, or something of that kind, and forsooth, this is to be deemed a proof of his devotedness to our unhappy country Bad men have differed and fallen out with One another. Even highwaymen, engaged in the common cease of open robbery % have differed and come to blows. It might with great Pro . priety be said, if such stuff as this could be crammed down our throttle, that Giffard, Obese bigoted principles are at notorious, is the friend of unhappy . Ireland, because he happens to differ in opinion from the Board of Aldermen, and now and then to give Clem some merited ahem. The Aldermen were the soul sad body of the late abominable Toll System. It is insinuated that the Toll System would not be abolished but for Mr. Peel, and to give the idea some currency, It is advanced that he fell out with the Corporation. Peel merely said or did nothing in this business, tend credit is claimed for him, therefore, as having done it all. You know, Sir, that other and quite different people did this business. In this country, and I be. lieve in needier country under theSun,could popula rity be sought for on such grounds. In the teeth of the Law, and of public opinion, be, Mr. Peel could not, if he were even inclined, have joined the Corpora. lion, and maintain a character for common honesty-- Were not the Police sent out? and did they not cis as much as they could with any colour of decency or impartiality to assist the Corporator, in levying the toll ? I ask the question, what claims has Mr. Peel on the gratitude on Ireland ? Oh. he loves us nose s when he's gone! and he, the Panegyrist of the Orangemen, their friend and advocate; the father of the Peeling System; the advocate of the abominable Window Tar, end all the rest; he is emitted to the .gratitude of unhappy Ireland, because hequarrelled with the Orange Corporation ; or, Beggarly Carpet.' ration ; call it what you will, about a private busi. mess. As I said before, as well might that hoary Bignt Gifford, or a man of his stamp, set up their claims to the gratitude of Ireland.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, 111 August, 1818. J. M.

As the Spanish Government acknowltdges it had not the power to cootroul the Indians, whose con. duct in Florida and on the American frontier has led to the seizure of that territory by the Power that is best calculated to repress such disorders, it cannot bat be conscious also that it is now without the ability to do much harm to the United States; but it would seem that the Cabinet of Madrid is extremely desirous that the High Allied Powers, who have un dertaken to keep the World in order, and repress all Republican irreligion. in particular, should take up its quarrel, and make the old walls of Aix-la-Cha pelle resound with Asir indignation at the ag gression upon the Florida,. The Madrid Gazette, which also assigns to the Monarchs of Aix.la.Cha pelle the duty of adjusting " the extremely seri ous differences which subsist between Spain and Portugal," says, with a singular modesty, " As to the great events that have occurred, and those that probably will occur, in the Florida., it would be an insult to the superior wisdom of the Iligh Allied Powers, to doubt that they mill promptly take every means to obtain information respecting the motives and developments of a quarrel which may produce incalculable consequences."

The Masters at Preston have determined not to raise the workmen's wages, and this was to bean- Rowed to them this evening, a still more extensive strike is expected. We insert a letter in this cley'd SrArEsmeza free the respectable proprietors of a manufactory et Trowbridge, on the subject of the ceases of bre in these establishments, which is highly deserving the at tention of proprietors, and all who have the tare of such works. The result of the experimeets thus communicated must prove of the utmost utility to all whose interests ere involved in the safety of these concerns, and will account for some of the la mentable accidents that have happened, without imputing to any person the crime of voluntarily being the cause of these occurrences. The French Papers to the sth inst. have reached es. They state nothing in regard to the investigation into the conspiracy, which, from all that we can learn through other sources, is not winch advanced, and in great danger of being altogether stilled ; but it is stated that Count DE CAZES, Minister of Police, on Monday last. visited Mc:lnsane. The Ministers are doubtless aware that it would have a strange appearance, and augur very unfavourably as to their power, were the prosecution for this plot to he stayed ; and hence probably this conference of the Police Minister tan the King's brother, who is known to be the patron of the fic tion who are accused of the criminal project..-- The letter said to have been sent by Momisstre to the King, charging his Majesty himself with a participa tion in the plot, is now understood to have been the composition of Baron VITMOLLU, and to have been the cause of his disgrace. A copy of this letter has been transmitted to us by our Private Correspondent at Paris, but want of room prevents our giving it to day. It looks a !NIA suspicious ; bet there is en. questionably some cause for the dismissals that have been made from the King's Councils. The Prince, in this letter, is made to espouse the cause of the conspirators, and to threaten his Majesty with making " 6 the troth known to the Allied Sovereigns." It will then be discovered, they say, `• what part your Majesty took in this great event." There is certainly something uncommonly mysterious in this plot against Royalty. Even the Journals announce a brochure (a pamphlet) was seized on Saturday, entitled A secret Note, explaining the Motives and the Object of the late Conspiracy. This is, perhaps, the Note of the Ultras to the Allied Powers, which had been published some days ago, probably by the Ministry itself, and which is said to have been seized, after the booksellers had sold a great number of copies. Bet this is very inexpli cable conduct on the part of the Government.— General DONADIEU, who was stated in the private letters from Paris to have withdrawn from that City in consequence of being implicated in the Ultra- Royalist conspiracy, is, it seems, at Dijon, whither he has been sent to review the 2d Swiss regiment. The Duke of RAGUSA, it appears, is at his estate near Chat it lon •se r-Seine. Accounts from Germany have already traced out the march of the Austrian troops, forming part of the Army of Occupation in France, on their return kerne. They are to be divided, it is said, into two *stems, which will pursue their route along the op posite banks of the Danube. The Emperor of AUSTRIA, it is reported, will be present at the re ek,/ of his troops in France, in the course of the present month, by the Duke of WELLINGTON. A rumour is added, that at the departing reviews, as they are called, the Emperor of RUSSIA and the King of Pennies will also be present. -••deb.-- • 1 • : • t " Detcb and liambergh Mails, with Gervaan Papers, to a recent dote, have arrived.

THE QUEEH—The account from Kew yesterday was—" The QUEEN hat had a good night, and is . something better to-day." Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Conned weal held at the house of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, which was attended by the Earl of Lyrae. root, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIIQUER,Vitcoont CASTLEREAGH, Earl BATHURST. Mr. CANNING, and 1 M r. WELLESLEY POLE. The Council sat till half.l past four. The Duke of WELLINGTON was present I during the whole of the sitting of the Cabinet Mi nisters. Captain KATES has been appointed by the Board of Longitude to measure the length of the seconds' pendulum at the Shetland Islands. The etpedition originated with his Majesty's Ministers, who have in the most liberal manner provided the finest intim menus to promote the object which it has in view. Captain KATER, accompanied by lieutenant FRANK, •f the Navy, arrived in Edinburgh on the 27th of June, end set caller Shetland bn the Ist of July, in the Nimrod sloop of war, commanded by Capt. DA R• LING. After measu►ing the length of the pendulum at Uist, Captain KATES proposes, if the weather is fa. vourable, to go as far as the North Cape, in Norway, with the view of determining the length of the pen dulum in the latitude of 70 degrees, or 71 degrees, and, to repeat the same measurements in Norway In the latitude of 65 degrees, er 66 degrees. Ile then returns to the trigonometrical survey at Cnwhithe, near Banff; and having determined the length of the pendulum there, he performs the same espe►iments at Leith, Fort Clifton, Arbufy Hill, and Dunnose. CALEDONIAN CANAL—In consequence of Fort Augustus and Fort William hating been discontinued as Military Establishments in Scotland, the Perlis. mentary Commissioners have made an application to the Pains REGENT, through Lord SIDMOUTH, to transfer the possession of the buildings and the ad joining land, as objects of great importance for the purposes of the Caledonian Canal, which is now nearly completed. The Commissioners, in their Re- port, stile, they had every reason to espect a favour able answer to their application. The importance and value of salt as an introduction into food, becomes continually more evident, as its medicinal properties are rendered more distinct and fully known. Among other salubrious virtues, may be mentioned its authelminthick properties, which have been rendered very evident by the publication of some late cases. It appears, that whenever salt is denied to human being, diseases of the stomach ere general, and that 'Gilmore engendered in the body ; and in one instance, where a person, from aversion to that substance, had refused It either in food, or in any other form, they appear to have been the consequence, and remained for many years. In Ireland, salt is a well-known remedy for bats in the horse; and among the poor people a dose of common .salt is esteemed a care for the worms.
