In Europe, an imbecile set of despots array themselves in a compact against the peace, liberty and happiness of the peoile, under the mockery of an unholy alliance ; and England, the birth-place of freedom, that soil which has been en. richest with the blood of heroes, who died in the cause of liberty, which they left as a precious legacy to their offspring, to that country which gave birth to a Sresizr, a HAMPDIN, a Roastu,, and a 1 Chatham, is to by ruled by an intolerant f ic ti o n, whose maxi■ has been to divide the people, to set one parr against the other, that they might rule unrestrict ed from the weakness of both. A faction, who has involved the country in a state of taxation beyond its wars and means, aid even continue to sink it deeper by loans and conundrums, to pay up the increasing inability of the people, who, from loss of trade and political oppression, are reduced either to the work house or to those regions abroad, where the told pea sant is eonsidered the richest of the country, anti where British Freemen ha►e, at all times, distiagnished them eaves oitherin the istid—the closet—or the counting horse. The people of America will chuckle at the w rote policy, the puerile weakness of Ministers who could advise the dismissal of Sir ROMT BAILER from the of fice of Chief Police Magistrate, and Sir RosnaT Wile itoN, the Hanibal of the British army ; that man whose prudence, intrepidity, and consummate skill has ren dered his name honoured and respected in all parts of Europe, and no where more than in his native coun try, where he has already distinguished himself as the Ifemesthenes of the Forum, the Cato of the closet, and the Washington of private life . .

The 'Ric* of the Royal visit to Dublin upon the minded his Majesty's Irish friends, was no more than what is sisal on the visit of any fine gentleman or lady at a house unaccustomed topersons of distinction. The children's brawls are awed into silence ; the fa gaily appear in their best clothes and manners and all the ordinary altercations and familiarities give way to the admiration and imitation of politeness. When the visitor retires, the former modes relate; and our readers will not therefore be surprised to find among on.. Irish brethren, their ancient animosities revive with additional spirit from their temporary sus pension. We give the following article received to day as a sample of the temper that may be expected to appear : " GLORIOUS MINORT."•••WO hive lettere from Wexford and Cavan, which state that certain unprincipled agi- Wen are attempting to disturb the peace of these coun tries. —We shall have in our next, something to say on this object s and patticularly to Mt. —.=(Diblin Awning Poet.) lin AMMON, clerk to the Magistrates acting for &Islington division, has this day published an official statement of certain proceedings on the limning day, IM Stb jest.. which our readers will remember were • noticed by the Mowing CArenick.

Tan BATTLI OP CALABoZO.—Of this important battle and its results we gave the particulars in our Paper of the t2d ult. A copy of • paper of Angos tura has lately come to hand, containing Bolivar's dis patch on the victory. In that dispatch he says the British battalion, commanded by the meritorious Col. Ferrier, distinguished itself amongst so many others brave men, and suffered a heavy loss of officers. The conduct of General Pees in this affair, he adds,; readers him deserving of the highest military rank ; and I therefore, in the name of the Congress, be offered on the field of battle to appOot him General-in-Chief of the army. Tax Haaverr.—Almost all apprebenifiens regard., lag the harvest have subsided. It will be a fair average crop, though, perhaps, not as great as the last; and the grain, taken altogether, may be found inferior. But the ports will not be thrown open, and the speculators have failed. Why do they not spe culate in British Corn ? If they did, they would have a fair profit for the money they might sink. We sup pose this will be the ease in fature.---(Dr6lia Brew ing Post, Sept. 22 ) The" Wolverhampton Paper" states, as an instance of the liberality of the times, the subscriptions of the Dissenters to the new Churches. This however is nut the case at Wolverhampton, where the Clergy, and the High Tories have sought to exercise a tyrannical domination in coercing the expression of Public senti- ment. Here the Christian charities wither before the efforts of political despotism. The authority of the paragraph may be traced we believe to the liberality of a few Dissenters at Kidderminster, who have sub scribed munificently towards the erection of the New Church, which will be a large and handsome structure, that it being built at the entrance of that town, from the Ilagley-road.—(Biropieghoes Merenry.) The sum of 4,0001. has lately been paid to the erew of the Swan Revenue cutter as prise-money, for the spirits found only in the Midas smuggler, captured by leer in February last. A reduction is to take place Immediately in the number of vends employed for the suppression of smuggling; several are to be paid off. The Resole don Excise Cutter, from the Portsmouth station, is or- dered to proceed to Plymouth for that purpose. The Greyhound Revenue cruiser is to be removed to the Plymouth station.

Mho French papers be eititkd to.credit, or a press under the shackles of a Censor dare speak oot, we may suppose there is peace is Turkey, war in Spain, loyalty in France, and insanity in England. in Turkey they conclude Russia is all meekness and modesty, and by the Grand Signor's Manifesto, we are taught to `believe (that is, as far as Royal promises go), that the Greeks and Christians will in future meet his most I gracious protection, bat as our credence is built upon experience. it don't extend further than to_Royal pro mises Dearer home. At present it would be ridiculous for Emperors of Turks or Christians to keep their words further than it became beneficial to their inter- esti ; and should peace or war between the Turks and Russians take place, their objects will be to forward the Royal interests without a thought of the sacrifice of honour Jr human blood ; and public devastation may be inflicted un the unfortunate victims of rancorous ambition. A religious war, under the influence rtotbe worst pa s si o ns, becomes doubly distressing the cause of humanity. But under existing cir cumstances the Turk has little to hope, for,•as it ap pears. he is to give up the European provinces, where flimplauss are io be bolsteeed up for the younger branches of the adjacent despots; still Russia will not be satisfied, her overweening ambition, the fanatical prejudices of an ignorant and in fatuated population against those whom they con sider their natural enemies, and who are possessed of even worse principles, cannot remain long un der any settled form. Had not the unlimited ambi. lion of the Northern Star, and the imbecility and wretched politics of his brother Emperor. led us to presume the worst consequences from their sanguinary combination against these monsters in human shape, we should not regret, and would rejoice in seeing them well chastised, provided it had the effect of rendering them less brutal; but it is not to be expected huma nity can be taught by those who never understood it; we, therefore, look for little improvement when the at tempt is made by two props of the unholy alliance. We next turn to Spain, where French spies have appeared seder the specious colour of effecting an other revolution in France, that is, what it vulgarly termed " laying it on too thick." That Frenchmen might wish to assist the Spaniards in shaking off their beloved Petty-coot maker, is not much to be wondered at. and from his weak head and worse heart we look for the thing as a matter within the bounds of human probability, as it appears the Clergy still bold their inductee by their endeavours to keep the Ultras about his person. The people watch him aarrovr IA and appear indignant at any want of respect to Riego who contributed so manfully to shake off the Spanish chains; and so mach afraid are the Ultras. 1604 they nies tSei royal promotiine, least by their acceptance of awe. they might be rendered obnoxious I to the 'views of the people. who are supported by the best spirit sod an understanding with their neighbours, the Portuguese. These patriots have gloriously ef iected the work of regeneration. and keep their King. I as all Kings should be kept, within the boundaries of the law. On the other hand, France, with a shakiest Press, is all loyalty, all duty to the Bourbons, that is. if their Newspapers are worthy of credit; but like the echo of the gang, we believe as much of them as we like. That the French people wish to shake off their task-masters, is natural, but this is not likely to be et -hosted before the death of old Gout, who still keeps the Ultras about him, and renders himself an object of suspicion, and like the general mass of royalty, he acts as if he were as ignorant of his interests as his neighbours. In England, the King scarcely sheers himself to the people, and is gone to make his Gerisesta, as be has done his Irish subject', happy by his pre mitee.

We were not a little gratified tut night on witnessin:e the appearance of our old favourite Mr. Youxa once more od the London boards, not .IFIT. we siognlar in our feelings; lbr the pit which was crowded to excess, unanimodsly rose at the first moment ofhle appearance; and if we may judge by the repeated peals of applause which echoed from every part of the bons, and from the affectionate gate of every eouotitiadie, we firmly be= lieve that we shall say no more Min the truth if we affirm, that had Mr. YOUNG been in the midst of the ass. dience, that there was scarcely an individ dal among their; who would hot have striven to have taken him by the hand and bade him welcome. We, keel" what the con. Ilia of such a moment is, and we therefore at once pitied and envied him his feelings, for wrought up to the ex cess that his feelings must have been • .hy the anbrehea acclamation of such an audience for dearly the spared three minutes, they must, we are confident, have been at • most overpowering. But let us proceed s--The play was Hamlet, the Prince by Mr. Youtro, and wells by Mist Foova. It was in this character that l.lr. YOUNG first exhibited his great powers to the public, and never did an actor sustain the difficult character of Hamlet with more energy and dignity than Mr. YOUNG did last night. lint it is impossible for written words to convey the effects which they may have upon the human heart, when de livered by one who in personating himself into the ant= feting individuals poured out the glowing language of our greatdramatist with all the tones and action that ex cessive passion could dictate, or highly gifted eloquence inspire. " Seems madam nay, It ; I know sin seems" was uttered with an effect that aroused the whole house; aad in that masterly soliloquy, "Oh, that this tog, too solid flesh would melt" . was towards the close (we could not hear the commencement) a was ter-piece of energy, dignity and fueling that justly re ceived the greatest applause. In the scene with the ghost, particularly where he cries out. " unhand me, gentlemen," he seemed no longer Mr. Youxa, but the generous and brave Hender, the dutiful and loving son of an injured father and King. forgetting his own safety, and willingly encountering every danger, in, or der, iereby, to satisfy the " purtubated spirit" of his lamented Sire. In the scene with his mother, where be says, "Leave wringing of your hands ; peace, sit you down, and let me *ring your heart." And in contrast ing the pictures of the two brothers, he, in reality, wring the hearts of the whole audience, by a depth of pathos that cannot be surpassed. But we must not give way to our own feelings, or we may thereby tire our readers. Let it then suffice to say, that the remainder of the play was slimily well sustained, and received an much applause, that to prisons like ourselves, who wish to hear, - it became really tiresome. As for Miss Poore, as Opkelis, she pourtrayed the outlines of the character with no inferior degree or silence. But, were she utterly devoid of those tae which she undoubtedly possesses, behalf, as we are, " in the youth and prime of nature," we could not gaze on her lovely features, or bear the sound of her sweetly-toned voice, without feel ing in our beads an interest for her that forces us to be pleased with all the says or does—a kind of melan choly pleasure, that has been aptly termed the joy of grief. The house has not undergone much alteration, bit there have been many minor improvements made. EXECIITION.—Thin morning the following male factors underwent the execution of their awful sea..,, tepee in the Old Smiley —Thorns Thompson, for a highway-robbery 1 George Lee, for uttering forged Bank of England notes, and Thomas Patmore, for cutting and maiming General Eaton. The unhappy men conducted themselves in a manner becoming their condition. At the Coati of Excise, _James Stn . yl3,,a publican, was charged with having feloalias - ry cOmpounded sit gallons of liquor with grains of Paradile, gins* mod other pernicious ingredients, not malt and hops, wick intent to defraud the Revenue. Samples . of the cos• tents of a cask seised on his premises were produced in Court. It was a fluid of a most powerful name, highly conteotrated, intolerably hot and bitter. It was of a yellowish, semi-transparent colour, and when the cork was drawn, &pungent smell exhaled. A witness was giv ing his evidence-, when Mr. Mayew, the Solicitor of the Excise, stepped forward, and stated that the case was compromised. Judgment was accordingly awarded against the defendant in the penalty of 1001. The above ease-excited the greatest interest. It is said that abOst 90 publicans are implicated in similar practices. By the application of drugs like those produced before the Court, and other ingredients of a similar description, it is stated that they are enabled to compound to the extent of converting two butts of potter into three.
