OP TILE I'ISITOP HER .111.IESTY to TUNIS, GREECE. AND PALESTINE. _~ WWI' T 10.4 II T rnt.. u•E DEMOS; ANIMATE. 111 Ef►(:AR GA PITON. So long- as the proceedings against Queen Caroline obtain Intention, the vlxit of her Majesty to Tunis, Ice. which became the occasion of such grievous calumnies, respecting her, cannot fail to be particularly canvassed ; atpd the evidence given by Louise Dentout, in the course of those proceedings, relative to the voyage in ortestion, must front its nature excite a strong and pe- Atiai Jvrest. When after the statements and opi nions ailteed by that fttlbon al /1 Vitt al% Itomer of Lords have been known, a journal kept, written by herself, and embracing most of the prominent transit ctiuns on which these statements and opinions have been founded, is discovered to be brought to light, it will naturally awaken a- lively curi osity to ascertain how far the representations I made by the writer on the solemn investiga tion of her Majesty's ease, corresponds with the I unbiassed and unvarnished tale she recorded day by day in her journal of the occurrences. By the industry of Mr. liarston, who hal acted at interpreter lon the behalf of her Majeaty, at the bar of the Mouse of Lords, during the production of the evidence against her, a copy of that journal was found when Mr. IL was sent to the continent to assist in the pos session of Madame Liaulise, • lady whose mansion is situated near the native village of Demon t, Columbier, If that copy of the journal, .t 1 r. Banton has now pub limbed a translation. This Journal, which Is accompanied with other corresponding papers collected in Switzerland, is writ ten in a lively style, and commences with the depar ture of the Royal suite from the Villa d'Este, on the 12th of November, I si 1 5, of the many striking passages with which it abounds; we shall at present give only that which relates to the state of the vessel in which the party lead embarkeed, just after it had cleared the straits of Messina. This is a proof of the risk of detec tion, when under the tent, from a sudden squall. "On the 6th of January, Itt 16, we departed from Messina, and embarked on board the frigate Clorinde. Catania is but seven leagues distant. When we were on the very point of landing, the wind became so vio lent and contrary, that it rendered it impracticable. It is a dangerous spot, because there is no Port, but oneeelv a small open road. The gale continued so heavy that we were in great danger. The sails could not withstand its force ; I,nt, a• soon as set, were rent into a thousand fragments. During an entire day but one sail could be set, and the vessel.was tossed about with so much violence, that it was impossible to re main standing. Pour days we were in the same spot, with this terrific contrary wind, expecting every mo ment that our frigate would upset. At length Provi dence had mere• upon us, and on the 10th of January we entered the port of Syracuse. " Syracuse is, at present, a small town,•hut was for merly lunch celebrated, and governed by its own kings. It is very ancient, having been Collided by Stoke (one of the descendants of Noah), 320 years after the deluge. It possesses many antiquities worthy of remark ; among others, Dionysius's ear ; it is a grotto, hollowed in the rock in the form of an ear, and was constructed by Dionysius, the famous tyrant. The echo is surprising ; a pistol fired in it produces the effect of a cannon -shot ; and words uttered in a , very low tone, are repeated distiuetly by the echo. It was here that the unfortunate victims of the tyrant's brutality were confined! He had eatmol a small chamber to be constructed chow, in which all the complaints of the prisoners below wild •be heard. He plowed a sentinel there, who, in the morning, related to hint what hail ►een said Against himself daring the might : and isollneneed by a fear, that the soldier might I tliecitsee the street of the small chamber, he strangled hi.; every evening he caused a fresh sentinel to be rimed there, sad every morning he was, himself, leis , lei, lIMOW. ea/leo-printer& • PARTNERSHIPS IMIDSOLVED. i.

At Syracuse are skews, also, the catacombs, or vault s is which were the sertlehres, wed intu which, the of men, women, and children Sad in time of war. For• later, it wasistosible to go .der grimed to Catania. distal' forty mites ; but at present they are prat-amble *lily shoot fifteen. They consist of many narrow pas" sages, which lead in different directions, with large chambers at intervals ; and are visited always with lighted flambeaux the gloom, and the feeling whirls it excites is horrible ; and the atmosphere very ens - lose. Them exist still, at Syracuse, the rains of assay temples, sacred to the gods and goddesses, whom the Syracusae of former ages worshipped. Tke temple of Misers is the most autism ; it is new Cee.l vented irate the greet church. and is said to be the imp* ineieat siareeture in the world. The fountain at freak cow from the bay, itor reign tol of the houses of the Swamies are still were hollowed out in the rock; the tables and chain were also formed of rock. Syracuse formerly possessed four considerable cities, all of which are now reduced to rains: it gave birth to Archimedes, the nmost illus trious of geossetriciaos, and the one, who invented burning glasses to destroy the vessels of the enemy. The climate of Syracuse was delightful; sot a windO‘e or door la the house would close well, and still we never experienced the least inconvertienre from cold. " We quitted (his town the *2 Uth of January. for Catasis, in suspended chairs, a horse before, and 'no• tber behind, it being impossible to travel in carriage., on account of the narrowness anal rockiness of the roads. Time same evening, we slept at Albentina. 4 small ruiued town of great antiquity; and or the 3Uth we reached Catania, a very pretty town, at the foot of Mount Etna, a volcano, most formidable :luring its eruptions : the town has already bees destroyed, and rebuilt, several times. This mountain is excessively' high, as may he supposed from its being covered with snow is the month of August, at which time it is difficult to ascend it without suffering from the frost ; a circumstance not a little surprising, on a muumstaiu abase interior is a glowing fire. It ass here, at. twang to story, that Vulcan had his forges, awl that the Cyclopes (who had but one eve, in the middle al the forehead) wrought the instruments of hell. estasia is very clean ; the sweets, for the most part, art straight, and the houses well built, and new. About it are scAtered masses of ire. -stone,. in size equal to cottages, and In colour like call, which have fallen from Mount Etna. Formerly there was a port which the lava has now choked up. The ruins of the old pods where.Vlysses anchored his vessels, es kis way to the destruction of Troy, are ens. On the 2Sth February we left Catania, and are.vcd in the evening at Augusta, a small town, with no thing remarkable except the harbour, which is safe and good. On the 25th March, the small vessel, called the Royal Charlotte, belonging to her Royal Highness, arrived. We embarked the lit of April, and steered for Uirgenti, a town of great antiquity; but which we were unable to visit, on account of tliz shallowness of the harbour. The island of Sicily is the largest in the Mediterranean, and very fertile ; seeds are put into the earth, and left withuitt au, culture until the harvest. We saw the corn sl►rinX ing amidst stones and briars, in the middle of the month of January, and the country as green am! luxuriant as in the ►uiddle of May in Switaerlau•l. Notwithstanding this, the people are very p•'ur : th..ir poverty, doubtless, arises from idleness, or want of exertion." -V-. n - Ermourn PUBLIC MEETING. On Satnrriay se'nnigbt a numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of this Borongh took place at the tiuildhall, in pursuance of public notice—J. W. Weston, Esq. Mayor, iu the Chair—fur the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament, praying for a revision of our Criminal Laws. The Worshipful Mayor haling stated its ob ject, the Rev. Dr. Cracknell rose, and in a most con vincing and argumentative speech. which excited ge neral approbation, moved several resolutions, which were seconded by R. Henning, Esq. and unanimously adopted. Petitions to both !loners of Parliament, re islets with every sentiment of loyalty, founded thereon, were submitted to the meeting by J. Henning. En. and carried without a dissentient voice; and it was re solved that the same be presented to the House of Com mons by the members of the Borough, and by Earl Digby, Lord Lieutenant of the County, to the House of Peers, and that they be respectfully requested to further each with their support. In the course of the proceePt legs, the objects of the meeting were very strenuously supported by ,W. Williams, Esq., and T. F. Buxton, Esq. The fatter gentleman observed, that after having paid a deep attention to the subject of crime and punish ment as they stood connected in this country, he was thoroughly convinced that a reformation was indispen sable. lie was fond of reform—his auditors knew he was fond of reform—hut, he hoped they would give him credit for the declaration, that he wished only for such; a reform as should be beup•ficial to mankind, both here and hereafter. We live, he observed, in a country dis tinguished ahoy* all others for its wealth, its military glory, its political freedom, and its morality; yet, by a strange anomaly, it was also distinguished by its crimes! Could this he owing to national turpitude? It was well known that British bonspr eclipsed that of all other nations. Wes it derived from the peculiar cop,. stitution of the country ? That constitution, by securing the freedom of its subjects, was the most potent safeguard of their morality.—Could it be found in our religions institutions Quite the reverse ; for they were founded upon the beneficent principle of doing good to all men, and of actiaLtowards others as we would they should do unto us. Whence then does :t happen. that crime abounds more in Britain, with a po pulation of 11 In:Ilion-, than it does in Fromm with a Mena of 29 millions?
