LONDON: FRIDAY EVEN/NO, PINE 29, 1821. The House of Commons was occupied last night c hi e fly in voting the minor articles of Supply. None wecastionitil such a difference as led to a division, ex gepting that which related to the claim of General DesronNEst x, which was, however, carried. On the *ant for the repairs of HENRY the SEVENTH'S Chapel being read. Mr. BRNNET took occasion to advert to rbe state of the monuments of art in Westminster Ab icy a nd St. Paul's Cathedral, and met with no re 'marks that did not concur with his own in reprobating the meanness of those beings who were earnestly ob taining profit from the. exhibition of these splendid wor ks, which they were at the same time consigning to neglect and ruin. it is, indeed, difficult to decide which is most disgraceful—the condition of the mo tontents or the avarice of their exhibitor.. With re spect to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, at h o se conduct Sir CHARLES LoN• said his MAJESTY S Ministers mere particularly morti- AeJ, they, perhaps, may plead a prescriptive right to pr,!'er the welfare of the living to the credit of the dead. They have long been distinguished for as prudent a concern for the things of the present world, as they ran possibly have for those of the world to ccme. The polite Lord CUESTERFILLP, who hail , ome experience of their vigilance in this respect, bequeathed thert an acknowledgment to that effect in his will, when he appointed them receivers of a penalty he thought proper to impose upon his heir, in case he should at any time run into an excess at play. But why should not Parliament proceed relative to these works of art, in the same tiv4nner as it acts respecting the monu ments and rarities in the British Museum ; and why should those articles on which the- public money has been so liberally bestowed, become the occasion of an addi tional and vexations tax n hen the public are disposed to view them ? mirr the liberal and careful manage• went of the Trit , tees of the 3luseum, the curiosity of many hundreds of individuals is gratuitously gratified, every day that edifice is opened ; and the ends of that institution are thus extensively promoted while the monuments themselves are preserved in the most ex cellent condition. " They manage these matters better in France :" we nit an with respect to places which belong to the rblic, and are intended fur public exhibition. It Is this facility of access to places of amusement and in struction, u hick renders Paris so agreeable and attrac tive to foreigners; and it is the reverse that is expe- • rienced in places of as' 'lar kind in London which renders onr metropolis so repii!sive. If a more liberal policy sc.s observed in this respect, even the views of gain might be more completely accomplished, by making Lo u don woe inviting and accommodating to strangers. in anmlter of our pages will be found an Address of Mr. Ctlttu ex to his Constituents, and to those who intrusted petitions to his care. This address has been called forth by the character of the Report of the Agricultlral Committa-e, and by the melancholy cir cumstances in which that Committee has left the Agricultural interests to their ftte. It is an article that cannot fail to be read with lively interest, even by rrsons of other classes, and of views that are opposite to those with which the Committee was contemplated. Act ording to Mr. CURWIN'S state ment the Report of the Committee was only labour lust. 'I he difficulties of the country were at tributed by his Majesty's Ministers to any thing else rather than to the erect of taxation. What Mr. C. observes respecting the curtailment of the circu lating ineilinnt in aggravating the distresses of the farmers, it. worthy of remark, and is of unquestion able weight. The change in the relative value of money w! , ich it brought about was, he alleges, a pre cipitate measure, ..vhich ought not to have preceded but to have followed a reduction in taxation. " When the circulating medium was thus reduced in amount, the nececity of proirling for the sante weight of tax ation is of itself sufficient to account for no small part of our distresses. The money price of our Agricultu ral produce is reduced seventy millions annually : the transactions between all classes of society have been consequently deranged, whilst the State continues to make the same, or even increased, exactions." The foreign jonrnals which have arrived since our last are of greater interest than the preceding. By them it appears that in consequence of orders from the Aulic Council of IVar, the cordon established along the Turkish frontiers had been reinforced by troops from Gallicia ; and that an extraordinary cou rier had been despatched to several regiments in Hun gary, with orders to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's notice. An article from Lune burgh, dated June 4, says, " Our accounts from Moldavia are more uncertain than ever, and the Greek accounts agree so little with others we receive, that we eau as little believe the fht when they speak of victories gained by their Generals, of the taking of 30 cannon, and of two Paellas, as we can the assertions of the lat ter, which speak of the beheading of Theodore and the eight of Ypsilanti." This letter may be take. as an ap propriate preface, although not se designed, to the fol lowing article frous Vienna. It is dated hoe 16. and eoqtains the most recent intelligence from Wallachia. THE . S' It shbuld be kept in mind, however, 'that it. Is avowedly Turkish, and therefore not likely to be impartial, nor in all respects correct : By official accounts from Bucharest of the 3d of June, the head quarters of the Turkish army, which has en- tered Wallachia, nnder the command of Hadschi Ahtnet Pacha, were in Calentina without the city, where there was a camp of 22,000 men, the ballot which consists of cavalry. This corps was to proceed against the rebels In a few days. It seems that it was intended to wait for Jusstif Packs, of Ibrailow, who is enctged in clearing Moldavia of the Insurgents, and is stated to have imme diately occupied Jassy, in order to act with their united forces against Ypsilanti, who is still in his position at Tergowist, and seems disposed to occupy himself with his corps of Insurgents, which is stated to consist of 10,000 men. Bucharest itself was occupied by MIO Turkish troops under the command of Basehbeschil Aga Tehir, an Albanian; they were stationed in the two strong forts of the city, the Metropolitan Residence, and the Monas tery of Radulawda. Perfect order prevailed in the whole city, and the public peace had not been a moment inter rupted. All the inhabitants, both natives and foreigners, are, however, disarmed ; the first are obliged to deliver up their arms to a Committee appuinted for that purpose, the latter deliver them to their respective Consuls. On the other hand, the Turkish commander has had several Turks hanged and beheaded tcho had been guilty of ex cesses. All persons, even those individuals who are accused of having been connected with the rebels, are treated with the greatest lenity, provided they have not been taken with awns in their hands. Such persons are left at liberty upon bail, and pursue their occupations with out molestation. But the greatest rigour is shewn to the armed Hetarists. Thu., on the 2il of June, ten of Ypsilanti's hand were taken in a village and executed in their black uniform., at the end of the bridge that leads to the Turkish Camp. Two Greeks of Bucharest, who had taken part in the rebellion, experienced the swam fate. According to the testimony of an eye-witness, Theo dore Wladimiresko, soon after his arrival at Piterdit. was surprised by Captain Jurdali, arrested, and conduct ed in chains, with a strong escort, to Ypsilanti, at Ter gowist. The following is the latest intelligence from Con stantinople. It comes to as through the sante chan nel, and is dated May '::t.:— The Porte is incessantly occupied with armaments to suppress the insurrection in Moldavia and Wallachia. It pays equal attention to the measures carrying on to sup press the insurrection in the Mores and Neg►ropont, and to destroy the tireek ships that infest the Archipelago. Morali Pasha, who was for sonic day• in the neighbour. hood of this city, is gone oil,' about 12,0410 men to Ito tnelia. He is said to have orders to enter Wallachia, by way of Hodschuck. Cara Feisi, one of the few Ayans of Homelia, has re ceive.' the horse-tails, End with them the coinmatill of 7000 men, with which he is to join the Pasha of and advance towards Crajowai. The Pasha of ibrailow (as before stated) has passed the Danube, and ta:ien lialacz, after a spirited resistance; and several troops expected from Asia will probably soon he assemble,' about the capital. On the Isith another division of the fleet put to sea.— It consists of one 74, three frigates, and three brigs. These and a ship of the line, which sailed this morning, after taking in the ammunition, &c. at St. Stefano and Gallipoli, ■ailed to the Dardanelles. They are fine ve.- sels, and well equipped, but have not sufficient men, the rebellion of the I ireeks having deptived the Goverp ment of the best sailors. The Admiralty has ins ited Sailors of all Nations, who receive three months pay in advance. It is hoped that the crews will be completed in the Dardanelles. The Government has received sa tisfactory accounts from the Morea, and everything indi cates that the success of the Greek Rebels has not been so brilliant as their boasting adherents have industriously given out. The infatuation of this nation becomes every day more evident, who had built their plans upon sand, and thought to gain independence by treachery and shame ful massacres, which their leaders called victories. The manner in which both parties carry on the contest ex cites indignation. It is mostly unarmed persons who are sacrificed. The Mnsslmen and the Greeks vie with each other in cruelty. I n the rtlorea and Negropont, they found victims for their fury. Patrasso and Athens have fallen a prey to the flames. There and in Zra, and 6lyeone, the most dreadful murders were committed in colic blood, by both parties. The islands of Spezia, Hydra, and Ipsara, have 70 vessels in the Archipelago, some of which carry frem 16 to 20 guns. They exantine the merchantmen of all na tions, and seize all Turkish property on board without respect to any flag. These modern Buccaneers have even dared ships of war. have taken a Turkish brio•, and blown up a small vessel. The Porte has laid an em bargo on all corn ships coming from Russian ports, and all vessels going to the Black Sea are searched before they quit the harbour at Constantinople ; this measure has been caused by the increasing emigration of the Rajars, and the flight of several individals implicated in the conspiracy of the Greeks. The changes in Administration says use Morning Chronicle, are at length finally arranged. Mr. Canning goes to the Admiralty, where Mr. Sturges Bourne is to be the new Secretary. Lord 31411- 1411 e removes to the Home Department, and Lord Sidmonth to the Presidency of the Council. Lord Harrowby, whose health is said to be exceedingly im paired, has long expressed a wish to retire from of fice, is going to remain for some time on the Continent. Mr. Huskisson, as it has been stated, removes to the Board of Contrail, with a seat in the Cabinet ; and Mr. Croker takes the Woods and Forests. There have been no arrivals from the westward this morning. Mr. Croker, by direction of the Lords of the Admiralty, has sent notice to the Commanders of his Majesty's ships, to afford every assistance in their power *to the numerous vessels that are beating about in the chops of the Channel. EXTILA Posr.—A singular coincidence occurs in the orders of the Homo ofeisonsons this evening, the third reading IN the Bill to prevent cruelty to Horses—and the Committee on the Extra Post Bill. which willcompel horses to ran 13 miles au boar, to Liverpool, Sic. ... JURY COURT.—ED:Nivaca, JUNE 26. seort T. seusrlat AND • The pUrttlei in this case was the Reverend Andrew Scott, a Roman Catholic minister in Ulasgow, who brought this acti.pn to recover damages of the de fender. Mr. W. 111'llavin, &c. for a series of calumnic• published by them un•ter the title of The Protestant, reflecting on the character of the pursuer, and charg ing him with extortion in levying contributions for building the New Catholic Chapel at lilasgow, and with having denied religions ordinances to those who did not subscribe, or who were in arrears of aubscrip firms which they had agreed to pay. Mr. Cocancax opened the case for the prosecution with much ability and precision, and called a number ..f witnesses to rebut the calumnies, among whom was Bishop Cameron, of Edinburgh. It was seven o'clock in the evening before the case for the prosecution was rinsed. Mr. MONCREIFF opened the defender's case in a speech of great energy and ability o he was followed by Mr. Murray, as Counsel for another defender, gym, and the evidenre being led on their beha:f. Mr. JEFFREY replied for the pursuer, in the strain of eloquence which is familiar to him. The Loan CHIC? Commtsstoarre charged the Jury with great accuracy and perspicuity. and the Jury after consulting for sense time, returned with a general verdict for the purseer. Damages 100,. against the defender Mr. 31`llavin. 201. against the defender .yen. and nominal damages against Messrs. Duncan, who were the printors. 'f he trial lasted from It a. tn. yesterday, to 5 o'clocl• this morning. The above case appeared to excite an extraordinary degree of interest. SUMMER CIACCITS.

ELEcitoN or Sllrairr..—State of the Pull this thy at one o'clock : For Mr. Alderman Oarratt - 1125 For Mr. Alderman Venables - • 121`t Fut Mr. ('rook • 3%9 It is now rumoured that, from the present state of public business before both Houses of Parliament, the ('ominous still adjourn on Tuesday next for a few days, to a ff ord the Lords time to proceed with the Bills that mar have passed the Lower House; that the Commons will re-assemble on the succeeding Friday, to receive Messages from the House of Peers as to the fate of the several Bills sent up to them; and that both lionises will be prorogued about the 9th or 10th of next month. The prorogation will be by Commission. The state of Pa lace-yard, and the neighbourhood of both Houses, in ennsequenee of the extensive preparation making for the Coronation, will prevent his Majesty from exercising this prerogative in person. Yesterday the. Marquess of Londonderry had an audience of his Majesty at his Palate iu Pall-mall. A private letter from Paris communicates an official answer from the Emperor of Austria to a deputation of the provincial States, who had offered their ron• t-ratolations on the •e-establishment of peace in Italy, wherein his Imperial Majesty is pleased to stigmatize the insurrection of the ti.erks as the result of a con spiracy not less criminal" than that of Naples. If this statement be correct, the issueof the present strug gle must be deplorable indeed. BRUS%ICI.3, Jcsit 2.l.—The Sardinian Government has at length succeeded in obtaining of the Suiss Government to prohibit Messrs. Santa Rosa, Saint Marsan Lisio, anti the Prince of Cisterna, from residiu , in the Canton of Geneva, or in the Pars de Vaud.— This measure will probably be extended to all the Piedmontese in all the Cantons of Switzetland. The Prince of Cisterna, and other Chiefs of the Revolu tion have been coniernnel to death, and hung in effigy. The Report of the Committee of the House of Com mons on London Bridge, concludes as follows: " After attentively considering all the evidence, your Committee are decidedly of opinion that the present con struction of London Bridge causes great impediment to the navigation of the River Thames, and is very inju rious to the interests of the owners of the vessels which navigate the river, by occasioning frequent damage to the craft, ind the loss of many lives. " That it appears to your Committee, that the only ef fectual remedy which can he applied to remove all the in couveniencies and obstructions now existing, is by the entire removal of the present Bridge, with the starlings and waterirorks. and the erecting a new Bridge, with not more than five arches. " That it appears to your Committee, that consider ing the local interests eonneeted with the approaches to the present Bridge, a new Bridge should be erect ed on the present site, or as near as possible to the same. " That it appears to your Committee, that the City of London hold in trust certain large estates, which were left to and have otherwise become vested in them, for the purpose of sustaining London Bridge. That the yearly rental of such estates, subject to certain charges made thereon by Acts of Parliament, and otherwise, and to expei.ses of management, the particulars of which will appear in the evidence of Mr. Robert Finch New mast, the Bridge House Comptroller, now . amount to upwards of 23,000/. and which, upon falling in of leases, will be gradually increased. That the Trus tees also possess stock tad cash, of the present value of 112,000/. and which sum is applicable to the same purpose. " Your Committee farther state that in the event of i the funds applicable to the proposed works proving in sufficient, which they hare no reason to believe will be the case, they are of opinion, that adequate means of raising the money maybe found, without imposing a toll on passengers passing over the Bridge. That your Committee reoommoad that a Bill be brought into Parliament evilly in the nest Session, for carrying into tweet their Report t and they also further recommend that the notices required by the standing or ders of the House, rotary to the execution of such a plan as mai4inalry e rapproved of, ought to be given he the My taibrailest previous to the newt Session at Parliament, ergot that the work, if maidiemmi by Parlawood. may proceed without delay." -..~ .~ _, SPORTING INTELLIGENCR.
