- - May be contraeted in 1821, it is respectfully sub submitted that the President of the United States toren tborised w borrow from the Bank of the United States, or from other Banks, the sum that may be necessary for the service of that year, at par, and at a tate of interest not exceeding six per Cent., redeemable at the will of Government, (Signed) It CRAWFORD. • The long protracted negotiation relative to Marl boutigh-bouie, ft appears, has at last been satisfac torily concluded. On Tuesday, we are assured the agreement fur the Duke of Mtntsionousas's lease was enecuted by Mr. Alderman Woon, on the part of the Qt`ISEN, with his Grace's trustees. As to the artini rseence of Prince Lcorot,t) in the transfer of his tem porary interest in the premises, we have reason, not withstanding the assertions of Ilse Meriting Post, to assume t:sat all the necessary preliminaries had been previously arranged. If nothing else could lead us ekiimt that this accommodation was in train, we should have looked for it from the horror with which that vestal instrument of ministerial rancour affected to bear the rumours of the arrangement. A fresh occa sion will now be furnished fur the spire* of servile coartiers and their agents, and fut.,' and pleasing eviJeuce afforded to the w ►rl(l at large, in what light the cliaracter of her M ‘JESTY and the pro:cedings agaiust her are viewed by those persons who are mutt deepl y - interested in preserving a discreet neu trality. 'I he Nixes was well apprised of the con stru,:tifin to which the arrangement would expose hi:a, hut he has risked the umbrage, and resolved upon his decision. We rejoice, for many reasons, on the arrangement made, and particularly as it em braces a residence so becoming the exalted station of the QUEEN, in a situation so respectable and conspi cuqus. Lu this position her M tJESTY will appear utak:. circumstances well suited to support the rank she claims, and at once to gratify the solicitude of her trawls, and to challenge and defy the observation of he: enemies. The Coader has thought proper in the superahun rlaoce of his tvisdinn, to piss a fulsome panegyric upon the leoiperatc address of the mild clergy of Durham, who, pious souls, will (if occasion should rivire) buckle on the armour of religion, and turn pugilistic parlous, like Friar Turk, or the ♦ery Ne ver:nil 3lr. 'f Inv ti Kt: 4 of lighting memory. These nice•: Ministers of the Lamb, with true Christian ha ►iulity, arrogate to theni,elves it monopoly of amiable qualities, and dispby tli..ir unlimited charity by fero ciously attacking the great mess of the people, who unfortunately for their rulers, are too profoundly ignorant to understand the pastoral doctrine of ser vility and nova-resistance. The ennrier, not sati died with calumniating in the dark, has 41(4 misrepreviittid the nature of this ad dsess in the very face of day, and with his tonal defiance of the light of reason, has drawn most extravagantly upon the gellibility of his readers. For the currectireas of this we refer to the Address its..lf, which streaks, we are sorry to say, mon. strongly against the Christianity of the Clerzer than almost any thing we have yet witnessed. The sagacious Cenrier has thought it his duty, as we ex pected, to pass an encomium upon the equally sapient Clergc, beeillie they barn, in 14rir trirdom, ques tioned the fidelity of the country at large, by unneces sarily presenting such an Address to his M A.His TY, as though the personal virtues, and paternal Un ernment of our Kingly Father, were not always a security for the affections of his most happy and loving children. Tic Courier and the Ad dress go hand in hand, in asserting that the present d •plorahle state of the country, arises solely from the vtecl of the l'eneke. And is it possible that this littl..conibination of puerility can dare to tax almost the whole population. of England, with the misde meanours of 3liiii:ters, because they have most gene rously exerted themselves in favour of persecuted innocence and contrary to proved incapacity. ? This we think is the most insulting remark that ever was cast upon the dignity of the people. It is never theless a fortunate circumstance, that such principles are uoaccompanied with power, and blended only with ignorance. This infatuated paper has had the folly to slur almost the whole country with little less than lath treason, her ruse we fortunately happen to be wiser and wore loyal than it:elf. The Nobles too, of Ledford and Devonshire, Grosvenor, and Carnet ", have, as might have been expected, been most grossly slandered. We abstain from the needless task of defending the cause they support, convinced in asserting the rights of the people, they are promoting the hest interests of the empire. populi we drew sepr , usa let; and are bold this opinion because we feel that it is the only maxim by which the affections of the subject and the stability of the Throne, can ever be permanently s,Tured. We sincerely regret, when the voice of the people is raised and not attended to, and we earnestly hope and trust that his Masses-1- will graciously listen to the prayers and petitions of his people, by dismissing from his Council, men who are ill cal culated to e the affections of the country, and consequently the happiness of the Kix°. If the mis guided HOelleOf STUART. bad, fortunately for them• selves, attended more to this wholesome maxim, we might not perhaps, at thin time, have been vainly peti tioning the glorious and paternal Hesse of Bair:4llmi. MEETING OF rat PARAHIONERS OF - BT. SAVIOURS' SOUTHWARK. This day, pursuant tb a 'requisition, a meeting of the inhabitants of this Parish, was held in the Sp!.. ritual Court in the Church, to take into consider ation an Address of Congratulation to her Ma jesty on the failure of the Bill of Pains and Pee ties, aid a Petition to the King to dismiss his Mi nisters and restore her Majesty's name to the Liturgy. We have only time to say, the resolutions were unanimously carried: the principal speakers were Sir I Robert Wilson, Mr. Denbigh, and Mr. Meston, the Five Wardens of the parish beiog present. KILKENNY arr LOYAL ADDRESS. (FROM TOR MODRRAY‘PR OF SATURDAY.) On Friday a " Loyal Address," of rather a novel nature, was voted in the Kilkenny City Court House' by a meeting of citizens, convened without the sanc tion of the Mayor, and presided over by Richard Collis, Esq. The import of this loyal address may be clearly deduced from the second and concluding paragraph, literally the same as the Amendment which Oeorge Bryan, Esq. moved at the Connty Meeting, and of which the substance is fairly giver from the Modeitrior, in the preceding column. (The paragraph thus referred to is given in the fol lowing terms, which we need scarcely observe, imply a certain consciousn. as of the incorrectness of the re presentation :)-- " That we beg leave most heartily to congratulate your Majesty upon the coaiplete and lionsoirahle rescue' of your Illustrious Consort, from a series of foul, daring, and atrocious persecutions, carried on against her by your Majesty's Ministers—that we entreat the dismissal of those odious and unfaithful servants from the station they have dishonoured—and that we humbly hope your Majesty will be graciously pleased to take back to your arms your illustrious and innocent Queen ! ! !" The foregoing we give only as the substance of Captain Bryan's amendment, and shall be happy to correct any inaccuracy to which our attention may be properly directed. However defective in verbal pre cision the above should prove, we believe it faithfully conveys the spirit of the gallant officer's amendment. CITY OF YOB K. —asp— On Monday last, the Right Hon. Lord Dundas was unanimously elected Lord Mayor of this city for the en suing year. The Lord Mayor (George Peacock, Esq.), bad, previous to this meeting of the Corporation, given notice to every member, that it was intended to propose " a Petition to both Houses of Parliament, requesting them to exert their influence for the restoration of the Queen's name in the Liturgy of the Church of England, and for the restoration to her Majesty, of all her rights and dignities, which are due to her exalted rank, as Queen Consort of these Realms." His Lordship, in bringing forward the business said, though he was aware that on a charter day, any subject might be discussed, &c. without previous notice being given, yet he had taken this step, that it might nut be said, the petition had been smuggled is a curers.. Mr.:lineman HOTHAM, in a manly and constitutional addrees..moved the Petition, which was seconded by Mr. Bewlay, Foreman of the Common Council. Mr. Alderman Chaluner, M. P., deprecated in strong terms the conduct of Minis• ters towards the Queen, sibling, that the only way to tranquillise the public mind, was to restore her to all her rights, privileges, and honours. The Petition was nna nimously adopted ; and it was agreed that the two Members of Parliament fur the Cite. should be requested to present it to the House of Commons, and to support the sanie in that House ; and that Earl Fitswilliam, Cord ()limbs, and Cord Holland, Aottld be requested to present the one to the Horse of Peers. A petition is in course of signature at Dartmouth, addressed to the House of Commons, praying for the restoration of her Majesty's mume to the Liturzy, and the restitution of all her other rights and privi leges. Yesterday a meeting was held at the Mansion-house, at which many of the most considerable merchants, bankers, traders, and members of great public bodies (including several Members of Parliament) were pre sent, for the purpose of considering the propriety of calling a public meeting of merchants, Scc., upon the subject of the late declaration, professing loyalty to the King, and purporting to be the declaration of the mercantile body. The gentlemen present determined to request the Lord Mayor to preside at the intended meeting ; and it is the design of those who are to take the principal part in the discussion to propose a reso lution with reference to the late meeting, to which they received no invitation, and which, in fact, was got up without the knowledge of the great mass of the citizens of London. The proposition being submitted to the Lord Mayor, his Lordship immediately con sented to take the chair, and offered the Egyptian-hall for the accommodation of the meeting, which will be held on Wednesday next. Yesterday, at four o'clock, a public vestry was ap pointed to he held in Shoreditch church, fur the pur pose of petitioning the House of Commons to endea vour to obtain the restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy. It happened that it was necessary fur the clergyman to read the funeral service in the church about four o'clock, which induced the pro moters of the meeting to postpone the commencement of business until nearly five o'clock, at which time, however, it was found that, in consequence of the de lay which had taken place, the meeting was likely to be but thinly attended, and it was agreed to adjourn till Tuesday next. By accounts from Bombay to the end of August, it appears that his Excellency Governor Elphinstone had been obliged, in order to stop the depredations com mitted on British property by the pirates in the Ara bian Gulf, to despatch a squadron for the purpose. Two vessels arrived yesterday from Buenos Ayres, but the dates are only a few days later than those pre viously received. They, however, allude to a fresh contest between the Pederals and Buenos Ayreans, and deplore the continuation of anarchy and misunder standings with the interior. No other accounts had been received from Chili except relating to the sailing of, the expedition. .- ORIGIN. ip POETRY. rf I I ' le a TO THE tlt Y. When angry stones howl thrilling wiki.

I looked for the person—the voice, the attitude a the hardy warrior; the orrasional dignity— the manly port—the firm and elevated demeanour of the Royal commander; the grave reflection—the deliberate resolve—the cool delivery, of a studied, artful line of conduct; a natnral, consistent, and forcible delineation of character; and found—all but my eve and tar--roin pletely satisfied and delighted. The Jay appointed fur the Coronation, is said to be the 18th, instead of the 19th of May. Every preparation is making in the Department of the master of the Horse, fur his Majesty's going in State to the House of Lords on 'Tuesday, It is ne vertheless, we believe, very doubtful whether or nut the Session will be opened by Commibsion. Tuesday, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office, which WAS attended br all the ('abine•t Ministers. The sitting of the Colincil was unusually lengthened ; it continued till the late hour of half-past six. Mr. William Tighe, the son of the late Mr. Tighe, who o often represented the county of Wicklow in Parliament, proposes to offer himself on the occasion of the vacancy caused by the death of the late Mr . ParneH. Mr. Sit-stun Las been also talked of. DIED. -11n Thursday morning, in Grenville-street, Dublin, Doctor Thomas Dromgole. He was one of those Irish Gentlemen whose ardent love of country, and zeal for religious liberty, obtained for them the name of Agitators, during the Administration of the lute Duke of Richmond. Many Russian, Polish, and nalHaan Jews are said to have embarked, during the course of last year, at Odessa, with a view of proceeding to Palestine. The colony of Tiberias, which emigrant Jews have founded in the is continually encreasing, by the arrival of these people from various nations. The greater part of the emigrants are persuaded that when the Messiah will come on earth, they will be near the place of his appearance. A new bridge having been just completed, makes the distance from Philadelphia to Baltimore only about 56 miles, by land, over a r~Hsd ro►d. The dis tance has been generally called about 100 miles.— (Buslon Gq.zeltr). Yesterday the despatches for Bengal by the ship Lowther Castle, Captain 31ortlock, were closed at the past India House, and delivered to the Purser of the ship. ALMOgT INCREDIBLE AND YET TIXE.-WE were among a number, who yesterday went on board the Brisish schooner, Parker, Capt. Dunn, from Jamaica, to see the sword of a Sword fish. This sword appears about 9 inches clear of the ceiling of the vessel, in the bilge, having penetrated through a d-in,•h plank, and sheath inc, passing between the timbers and through the ceil ing. Had it gone two inches farther, it would have penetrated a hogshead of rum. We understand Mr. Scudder, of the Museum, is to be at the expense of cutting the plank and ceiling through which the sword passes, for the purpose of exhibiting the whole, u a prcof of the wonderful and almost incredible power of the sword fish. It is probable the fish was attached to the vessel for several days, which pro tracted her passage to 3 days from Falmouth.— (Boston Popes). Berm LATE Til evca.—The inhabitants of the Parish of St. Buoiler, Cornwall. of n hose supposed illumination on the abandonment of the Bill of Pains and Penalties, a facetious correspondent sent us a detailed account, afew weeks since, illuminated their houses in reality, on the evening of New year's day, notwithstanding the endeavours of a few individuals to intimidate those over whom they supposed they bad i n flu ence. . . Since the Fashion of Curling the Hair has become so general both to Ladies and Gentlemen, it may not be amiss to point out its danger in destroying that elegant ornament a tine head of hair. The use of the Irons make the Hair harsh and dry. and it loses all its native lustre and elasticity. To counteract this, AT KINSON'S Curling Fluid has long stood pre-eminent. and its general adoption by the Nobility raises it above any imputation of Quackery. By using it after Curling, it wakes the Hair soft and glossy as silk, and keeps the Carl firm in exercise, in dancing, or walking in damp weather. It also preserves it from falling or changing colour to extreme old age. And in order to protect the Public against imposition, the Proprietor intends taking j oat immediately a Patent for the invention. TO THE EDITOR OP 411 E STATESMA.V. - - - . • I Sla-1 know not whether I-may implicitly rely upon the accuracy of newsparer reports i" gut if that which I. given as hiring warted it the Ms ntfoh-ltilitile regard ing Mr. Campbell be correct, it is, in my opinion, a veVt Important occurrence. lit this report it would seem, . that Judges, Magistrates, and Lawyers, had for year; ignorantly proceeded upon a'titivoneeptiOn of the low, and thereby illegally forced ilasisivede to undergo boat an expense and trouble which.* taw did not authprise; and it was nut even till the City olicitor was pushed is a corner from which he could not escape, that he at last gave up the point. But that which 1 conceive to Ye most blameable in this transaction, is the cadearoor pis off this gross misinterpretation agile law as a de feat, and ronsiqnently as orersig At of fhb law-maliers, which (meld to be remedied as speedtfy'as if that which was perfectly consistent with strictrstice. was likely to be a utiateke of the Legislature. For is it nut •otoriuus, that, as the law has hitherto been 'like tised, it is almost as great a ru'lfortuumto be the prose cutor as to be the culprit? and is it not a rem ipjustiro to require inch an individual to incur a greet co.pcsse, besides kicking his herb about ► Court of 'Asti& for weeks, whilst his hissistutis at home is goiag to neat hod ruin ?—The truth is, Sir, that as the law was flri4e/, pronounced to be by our wiseacres, it wal an unbearable nuisance; and as it is now explain/0, it has become, thanks to Mr. Campbell's Apt' spirit, at least srunewho. now tolerable. But still I will maintain, that tliough the principles of our Crithinal a' wen as our civil laws are generally good, the prisetleahle part is otter-Ate:and ought to Le remodelled.

Papers received from Norfolk (Virginia) to the 14th ult. continue the proceedings of Congress one day later than those recently received by way of New York. A resolution, worthy the imitation of older States, was submitted to the House of Representatives on the 6th, to" consider the expediency of repealing so much of the act for the better government of the Navy of the United States, as authorizes the inflic tion of corporal punishment by stripes or lashes; and also to provide for the punishment of any officer or private in the Navy who shall send or accept a chal lenge to fight a duel." A regulation of the nature suggested already exists in the army of the United States, and it was the desire to plate she sea and land service on the same footing, that was stated by the mover of the resolution as his motive for proposiog it.
