swwessenneaw . - Neeesossaseseassesnal Bench flattered himself that he could improve the effect, or deepen the impression, of Mr. Pitt's speech. A like deference was paid by the friends of Mr. Fox to their Bader. The followers of these great men looked np to them with awe and veneration,as schoolboys regard their pesters. The House was kept in a state of strict disci pline—no man ventured out of his depth or btu place ; or, if be did, he was sore to receive such chastisement from the one or the other, as kept all the rest in awe, and deterred theis from risking a like punishment. When Mr. Pitt stood up to recommend some of his favour he taxes to the care and protection of the House; how often have the Country Gentlemen been seen array ed against it; but no sooner bad two or three of these ventured to strike a blow than the mee of might was seen knocking their beads together, and smashing them like so many addled eggs. The victory was complete, and silence remained the order of the night. Were the Constitution, on any subject of civil or religions liberty, brought forward, its minor opponents were sure to re ceive a like treatment from Mr. Fox. Bat no restraint nor controul upon the itch of speaking,the exuberance of eloqueoce,exists any longer. Tlfegreat majority of the )lembers are not only orators, but orators of the first cali bre and all alike. The consequence of this stateof things is,—there may be great cry and little wool. Mach may have been said, and little does, sod the orator, who flatters himself he has been sacrificing his health and his time for the good of his country, might learn, would his va nity allow the discovery, that be has been only exhaust ing the patience of his audience. Hence nothing is more common than to see a Member in a sound sleep in the heat of debate. Even Mr. Canning, the most brilliant and entertaining orator in the House, badoccasion in the course oldie session to complain of this species of neglect; and if a speech of the lively Mr. Canning met this recep tion, what must not the soporific powers of Mr. Huskis aon, and other Orators of his class have accomplished? Though they may not have raised their auditors to office, they must have placed many of them in a state of sound repose. Another evil arising out of this state of things, in the House of Commons. is a general complaint against the public ;tress. The same vanity or ambition, if it deserves the name, that prompts a man to make a long speech, alsa excites a wish to see it fully reported in the Newspapers. if the speech be not reported with all the embellishment of "hear, hear," and other marks of applause, which accompanied it in its progress, the reporter is immediately set down as prejudiced, and the Newspaper corrupt. The compliment in this case we can not blame. He sees the speech of another Member, although not better than bigotry, reported fully, while his is dispatched in a single line. His dissatisfaction arises from his ignorance of the internal ceconomy of the system. He is not aware that the report of a Parliamentary debate in a Newspaper is s matter of taste—a necessaryabridge ment and selection. This position is Illustrated by the fol lowing facts :—A newspaper of twenty columns may be read in three linurs.—A fluent speaker may occepy about the same time in delivering it. It follows, therefore, that a de bate of three hours, faithfully reported, would sublce to MI a newspaper ; but the House waserally &Hain debate from 3 o'clock to II or 12, and often later. The report in the news paper is consequently only a selection in which the prefer ence is given to the most important matter,and the speakers •who stand highest in public estimation. WrtNnson, JULY 22.—Every day. when the weather will pertnlt, his Majesty rides or drives ont for some hours, and seems to enjoy excellent health and spirits.— After insp..cting the royal apartments in the Castle, on tiunday, his Majesty expressed himself highly pleased with their comfortable appearance. It is expected that when his Majesty returns from his marine excursion he 'ill come to the Castle to reside. It is not yet known when his Majesty intends to :cave the royal lodge for Portsmouth, hut it is supposed that the royal embarkation will take place (if the weather should become more settled) about the latter end of next week. Yesterday the Members of the Cabinet dined with Mr. 'Secretary Canning, at Gloucester Lodge. Yesterday the Spanish Minister transacted business at the Poreign Office. The flake of Cumberland had a select party to dinner yesterday. Yestertliy Prince Leopold and the Duchess of Kent slined ',vitt, Cie Pancras Sophia Matilda at ber house, at Blackheath. On Saturday last, died, at Ileum near Kelso, the Duke of Koxburghe. His Grace succeeded William (Bellentlen), who succeeded John Ker, the Duke of Kox - bitryhe so eminently known to the literary world as the Nobleman whose taste for old books led to the founda tion of the dub which hears his name. John was the last of the direct male brandies of the ancient border fa mily of Kers. His successor William was of a female branch from Earl Robert, and, we believe the Duke, now deceased, of another female branch from the same Earl. The descent and property have been the source,of Much litigation, but the lieirdoin is at present char in the per son of the young Marquess of Beaumont, the only child of the deceased Duke. The Marquess (now Duke) is about five years of age; his father eras nearly SO when lie died. Yesterday afternoon, shout three o'clock, an accident which might have proved very serious, befell the Duchess of Leinster and Lady Louisa Stanhope. As those ladies were on their return in Lady Harrington's carriage from an airing in the Park to her Ladyship's mansion in the litable-yard, the asletree broke at the moment the ear ri4ge passed through the gate from the Park, the body "fell to the ground, and the alarm of the ladies can be , • more easily conceived than described. Immediate as sistance was tiforded, and they were helped into Marring ton House. without experiencing any injury, except bring exceedingly terrified. On Monday night Prince Potignae, the new French • Ambassador, accompanied by his tern children, a son and a daughter, and the major part of his Suite, arrived at the: • Embassy House in Portland-place. ' On Tuesday, Count Esterhazy, after taking leave of his brother his Highness Prince Esterhazy, accompanied by his suite, proceeded to the Tower stairs, where he ens barked on board a steam packet, fur Calais, is his way to Paris. The eldest son of Lord Sidaronth lies in a vevy danger.' • ous state, and is hardly expected to recover. In tiler, event of his demise, the valuable sinecure of Clerk of the Fells, which the Noble Lord secured to his son ou the death of Hiley Addington, falls in to the public. A matrimonial alliance, it is said, will shortly take place between Viscount Saida°, eldest son of the earl of Harrowby, and Lady Stuart, only daught. r of the • late Parqueseof Bute. The young bt , ly is at present at them with OM Marchioness her *pother; and Wig es- Teets& that the-Earl and Coaatess• of fiartewhyrbard •Sandoe, and.

PORVISIOUTH, July 23.—N0 arrivals or sailings.—Wind, S. W. • Tits Gasaw CAPTIVER.—The Turks, it appears, in or der toVaill the possibility of Greeks rescuing any of their fellow -countrymen, have employed neutral vessels, and Christian Bags, to transport into Barbary anti else where the unfortunate victims they had taken in the island of Scio. The uncle of one of these unhappy cap lives, thus writes from Malta, under date of May 13 : " On the sth or 6th of next month 1 shall sail for Tunis, on board the English ship Euryalns, Captain Clifford, to effect the deliverance' of 40 youths of Scio, who were , brought there as slaves by Nu English vessel from Smyr na, among whom there is one of my nephews. Nut hav ing it in my power to ransom Wail°, money, 1 address ed a memorial to the Government here, from whom I have ' obtained the favour to be permitted to go and reclaim, not only him,but all the other Sciots or Greeks whatever that the said vessels brongh, there ; and as the English are serious in what they say, I have resolved to repair there in person, to render this service to my countrymen. Would to God that the other Powers of Europe would reclaim also those that their vessels have conducted to Alexandria, Tripoli, "i'uois, oe Algiers! It is known that two French vessels have engaged in this com merce." It has been suggested the if some part of the money which has been collected could be applied to ran som a few of the prisoners of war, it would be a most appropriate employment of it; 501., it is apprehended, would be the average for each person. General Vigodet, who has been placed at the bead of the soldiers of the permanent army and national militia defending the Isle of Leon and the city of Cadiz, has ad dressed to them a Proclamation breathing that spirit of enthusiasm which alone can, and which sometimes does, save a country, even at the eleventh hour, from ultimate subjection and permanent ruin.—" In order, says he, " to place us in a situation to inspire respect in our haughty enemies, decision and enthusiasm, and pa triotism, are not sufficient; as organiz ttion, disciplue, firmness, and constancy under fatigue, and suf fering of hardship and privations, and strict cat diet.ce and punctuality in the service are indispensably necessary, I caution you, that to accomplish the great work we have begun, it is requisite that you should know that there is no medium between yielding shamefully and ignominiously, and conquering by a steady adherence to these duties. lam aware that most of you are well convinced of this truth; but nevertheless if any 0,-,e ill advised, or through cowardice, should depart from the road of heroes, which, under such critical circumstances, is marked out by his worthy fellow-soldiery, I assure all that whoever may betray weakness, or act infamously, shall be punished as the law directs, and be separated for ever from free men who are determined to bury themselves under the ruins of their country, and to renew, if it should be necessary, in the island of Cadiz. the glorious remembrance of N mean tia of old. Use, therefore, your utmost exertions: all En rope has its eyes upon us, an d who knows whether Provi dence has not appointed us a second time to be her libera tors, and the objectsof her admiration and delight; so that labouring under hardships, your only thought should be, that you are about to lose your liberty, perhaps for ever. Let this lead you to vigorous exerti.oi and manliness, until that heroic enterprise shall have been accomplished in which your Commander in Chief, your countryman, and your companion in arias, promises to be your guide and your model. Long live the Constitution !—Long live the Constitutional King !" The King of Wirtemberg, who has displayed so much spirit in support of the Constitution whi.m he gave to Iris subjects, has canoed a Note to be delivered to the Frank fort Diet by his Minister, respecting the suppression of the German Observer, in which he declares : "'That having adhered to the Resolutions of the Congress of Carlshand in 1819, he had considered himself bound to order the Decree of the Diet, founded out those Resolu tions, to be executed; but that whilst be obeyed that Decree, lie was far from sharing the apprehensions o the Diet; and though lie did every thing to dispel them. conceived them to be completely unfounded." To show the triumph of the Ultras of France and their notion of the slavish versatility of the people, the NA TIONAL GUARD, is understood is, by and by,to be called la Garde de Courosine! This change is intended to prepare the way for the entire extinction of the obnox tons democratic term National, and to facilitate the measures contemplated for the restoration of the National Domains. If that, which once assumed the title of the Great Nation,shall submit to take a step that leads to such results, we should think it had become little in deed. It iitpears from a Review by blavre-Bnum of a recent Statistical work by BALBI, that the Provinces of France, the most superstitions sod the most attached to the Bour bon system,are the worst off with respect to education; that while Alsace, Barguntly,Franche-Comte, Picardy, French Flanders, &c., have 129 out of every 100t1 msles sharing in the benefit of public instruction, the loyal and super. stitious Provinces of the South West have only forty nine out of 1000. The inference which the Ultra poll ticians will draw from this, will no doubt be that the diffusion of education is a very bad thing. M. Malte-Brun, however, who hail the benefit of a northern education, is fond oidwelling rather on the advantages of education, as a means of civilising and improving the morals of mankind. Among the other consolatory proofs which he has adduced, we find one derived from Austria, the Uovernment of which, he says, "employs the means the most efficacious, and the most methodically combined to spread liberally elementary education." Stich has been the success with respect to moral improvement, that it appears from very recent administrative Reports " the number of crimes has diminished in the ratio of the in crease of primary schools." The Antelope troop ship at Chatham is ordered to be fitted for the reception of 300 convicts, who are to pro ceed to Bermuda, to be employed at that settlement. It is supposed in future a number of the convicts will be sent annually to that place. An order was received at Chatham on &tart% y, by Ad. tniral Sir B. Hallowell, Port Admiral, for the whole of the ships fitting in the Medway, which consist of four tiag ships and some smeller vessels, to be fitted to their full war establihhinent. For the equipment of the Re venge, of 74 guns, Admiral Sir H. B. Neale, fitting fur the Mediterranean, the men of the Prevenive Service are to be immediately drafted. The Scotch Tones, it seems, not satisfied with the effect of Blackwood's Magazine, nor warned by the F:diuburgh Deacon, nor deterred by the fete of the Glaafoie Seatiael, are about to make another effort to reclaim the people of the west of Scotland from the po• tibial' heresies into which they allege they have wandered. Ins Prospects, published to solicit patronage for the forthcoming journal, it is asserted that three fourths of the inhabitants of that district are infected with liberal principles. What a subject tot a Laitaeat -- -~-. i PORTUGAL AND BRATIL.—An attempt, it is reported, is to be made, in consequen.:e of the counter-revolution in Portugal, to bring about a re-union with Brazil; not, however, by additions to the naval and military force already employed against that country, but by animme diate cessation of all hostilities, and a negotiation on the basis of mutual interest. Commissioners, it is said, are immediately to sail from Lisbon for Bahia, the only place where active wa r f ar e is a t present c arried on, and their first step will be to put a stop to the operations of General Madeira. The commissioners will then repair to the capital of Brazil, and solicit the Congress in the first instance, to appoint a committee, with whom a conference may take place respecting the claims of Portugal, and the contingent ad vantages to Brazil of returning to her dependence on that country. Should these " advantages," however, not be rendered clear to the comprehension of the lead ink Brazilians, it is presumed that the Commissioners will finally admit the right of Brazil to be wiaolly inde pendent, and will then limit their endeavours to securing as the price of so valuable a concession, all the commer cial and other advantages for Portug4 ahich the grad tude of her ancient and valuable colony may be inclined to bestow. Such is the story which is circulated among merchants connected with both countries. Madame Vigo, the Governor of Corunna's lady, who has just arrived in town, is the daughter of Canga Ar 'guelles, the celebrated Deputy; she is but eighteen years of age, and has only been married two months.— Madame Quiroga is also expected by the blaigaret, and is a lady of considerable accomplishmt•nts. It is said that the Master-of the Hulls has every di-- position to retire from an office, the arduous duties of which lie is now so much incapacitated from discharging by the delicacy of his health, bat that he is unwilling to saddle the country with his retiring pension. Mainrroxs, JULY 2l.—The present consideration of the grounds about here is worse than ever remembered by the oldest planter. The bine is covered with filth, and in m ray places quite turned Mark, and the upper shoots appear in a drooping and languid state. Not the least appearance of bur is yet visible, although late in the sea son. There is much tire blast, as also honey dew, which seem to he on the increase. Nothing but hot dry wea ther and wain nights can recover the plant, and even with these advantages it is generally thong-lit that the doty will not pay more than from 30 to -11),C00/. Our accounts from Canterbury, Sussex, Farnham, Worcester and Hereford are equally unfavourable. Yesterday morning the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Aldermen and Members of the Corporation, and at tended by the usual officers, shined from Blackmail, on the ceremony performed every seven years of inspecting the boundaries of the city jurisdiction, and visiting Ho cheater. Sheerness, Southend, and other places. His Lordship was in the state barge, and the barges of the several companies were also present, and filled with la dies and gentlemen. A number of steam-boats were in readiness to assist the progress of the barges by towing, in case of unfavourable wind or tide. Many cutters and elegant boats, belonging to private individuals, joined in the procession, and the appearance of the whole was ex tremely beautiful, and exceedingly well arranged by the Water Bailiffs. The excursion will occupy three days. One vessel was filled %vita fire-works, which are to be dis charged at various places. tis rumoured that a loan of 5,1100,000/. starling is shortly to be raised for Portugal. This is. without doubt, meant to answer the first bill of charges in return for the kind interference of the French in settling the affairs of the Peninsula. The second bill, it is thought, will be I much larger ; but both its amount and the period of pay went are at present very uncertain. On Thursday the 10th lest. the 11th Anni y of, the Sudbury Sunday School was held in that t ,wn when a sermon was preached for its benefit in St. Peter'' Church, by the Rev. W. Gurney, A 1 1 .1. Rector of Sit Clement's 'Danes, London, anti the , collection exceeded 401. ; the children afterwards dined on the Market Hill, in a booth tastefully decorated with evergreens and flowers, the Sudbury hand playing during the din ner. The conductors of this School lately received, from an unknown friend, a liberal supply of cloth for 101) shirts and 50 handkerchiefs, for the Boys' School. The number of prisoners for trial at the Assizes for Suf folk, the commission for holding which was opened at Bury to-day, Is less than has been remembered for many years; there being only 5 prisoners at present in the Ipswich Gaol, and 5 eases of felony fur the Liberty of Bury. A number of persons are at present employed in cleans ing and newly ornatnetoting the interior of Covent Garden Theatre, which it is intended to open next season with every advantage derived from tasteful and splendid decoration. A few alterations in arrangement, it is said, are contemplated at present, but not of an extensive or important nature. - When an attempt was made a few years since to prove a certain Nobleman an idiot, the Counsel on both sides produced the same instance ; one of his wit, the other of his folly. Hie servants were puzzle l once to unpack a large box, and his Lordship advised them to do with it as they did with an oyster—put in the lire, and it would Rape - According to the estimate of M. Charles Dupin, at French engineer, the extent of the water and gas-pipes under the pavement of the Metropolis of Great Britain, is between 1,000 and 1.200 miles !—The roads of Eng land only are above 40,000 leagues—more than 120,000 miles—five times the circumference of the globe It appears that already this year there have been im ported into the port of Liverpool alone one hundred thou sand bags of Cotton Wool more than were imported into the same port, in the saute time, last year. This ac counts for that article being at present so very low in price. The crops in Argvleshire are, in the opinion of many persons, about fi►e weeks later than at this time last year. On Wednesday se'nuight, the True Britian coach,' which travels between this town and Carlisle, in her way to the latter pace broke down, about half a mile west of Haltwhistle, in consequence of the axle-tree having elven way. A little girl was thrown from the roof and hail her face slightly hurt, and Mr. Robinson, currier, of Hezham, bad his leg broken.—No other injury was sus tained, though there were several more passengers.— (Newcastle Chronicle) PEDESTRIANIM — The veteran Wright, the celebrated pe destrian, who is now in his fifty-eighth year, is performing the astonishing feat of walking 6.19 miles in tea successive days, being sixty.three miles per day, upon a hair-nille piece of ground behind the flighbury Sluice House, where thousands of persons are daily crowding to witness this Her- Aulean task, which, should he accomplish, wi.l be the great est ever known in the annals of pedestrianism.
