at c. , r it rrf . that of the Russian army's crossing the Prat's." Due cau tion is, however, observed by the writer In re ference to the inclination of the Right Honourable Gentleman, or of his late Colle Tue. in this respect. it would not be becoming, while the arrangements w ere unfinished, for a ministerial print to presume to refold too much ; but the sentence we have quoted i s jest such an intiuiation u we hinted yester day might soon be made, and is quite 'sufficient to skew that the negociations are expected to h a ve a favourable termination. All that this courtly a dvocate can venture to Sly on the subject is, that the mints and oratory of Mr. Comma would render him an accession to the Administration. Very probably t hey would; for never was an Administrator so glar ingly ungifted. Since the last Whig Ministry was taunted by the application of " the Talents," the pre sent Ministry have taken special care to avoid occa sion for the like reproach. Except the Marquess o f Gounostnsauy, whose oratory appears indebted more to powers of face than to powers of mind, tiler* is not a Member of the Administration in t he House of Commons that can venture on what can be termed a speech. Mr. CAsistsio's elegance may be therefore very acceptable to his former colleagues; but whether his ptesence in the Cabinet would be equally acceptable in every quarter is a point to us extremely doubtful. The oc casion of his late retirement, with all the circumstances connected with the case, cannot be easily forgotten, nor remembered by every onewith compl &nosey. But if he is wanted, he may, after all be allowed to pass. — King aad Courtiers are often compelled to make very mortifying submissions.—Neceuity has no law. We have constantly anticipated every good politica' change which has taken place within the last three months in the old as well as the new world. As to the . latter we boldly and unequivocally stated the par ticulars now confirmed by the last American papers, namely, the Victory, instead of the defeat, of ST. MARTIN before Lima. The ultimate success of the other Ultra Spanish Provinces and the independence of the Brazils. The conduct of &MON BOLIVAR, the President of the Southern Independent Army of Liberators needs no comment, our prophecies were grounded upon the certainty of menbreaking the chains of slavery when their grievances become insupportable. When the spirit of liberty animates the soldiers of the South, as it has done those of the Northern States of , • Columbia, the unremitting activity of Admirals COCIH+ itANc and Bator; were sufficient to guarantee a happy .• termination to the South American contest. It was a • struggle of Liberty against the Inquisition, of Pa. triotism against Rapine and Slavish Oppressors. Let L the European Despots contemplate the great B?,twa drawing from a Receiver General a einall portion of his pay, and firing up the rest with all claims of 'seize -money, or otherwise, to the support of his country. This is a noble example, not likely to be followed in Europe. la the new world there will be •no Despotism—no doctrines about divine right and passive obedience —Liberty is extending over the immense continent of America, as well as the great island of Saint Domingo. The black subjects of the black Kino are incorporated with their brethren of all colours, under the President • BOTES, all engaged in forming roles and regulations establish their commerce, upon the broad principles •. of right ; and Cuba, the last hold of Spanish thral . dam, is likely to follow the example of its neighbours. la the Bruns, the people are uniting, to throw off the dominion of Portugal. Pernambuco has ennui• dered to the Indepindents ; Rio de Janeiro will. in all likelihood, shortly follow, and happy would it bare been for both countries, had this taken • place Jong since, what then nigh be done with • a good grace, will now be effected by force, While Europe looks tamely on the sufferings of the Greeks, under Mahomedan dominion. America sympa thises in their miseries, and are raising subscriptions • to area these braves men in defence of liberty; nothing nabs more horrific than to hear of butcheries of the Weeks; hy the enfuriated and sanguinary Massulinaas, while those States, that call themselves ebristians are coolly calculating upon the profit or loss, that may accrue to themselves from a continuance of murder.— Oreeien freedom is as dangerous to European tyranny. as Turkish barbarity is to the chriatian faith. Thus the Greeks are left to their own skill and bravery to establish their independence. sr . King Kest• 'ictor Wine. settle lii of Mot rl 0 Met ctisof IMO ) the Bow cit • I peso. Nye f Mr. e s gl• a I Did we suppose that any interference with the Casticescoa of the Escnsouss on the system of • Fielihee, could lead to a reduction of the heavy bur then. under which the people bend, we should cheer. !idly lend our aid ; but there is little probability of making a silk-purse of a sow's ear. This gentleman ; ire been brought up in a bad school, and has elm talent to strike out any new plan of amendment. lie might have done for a Cabinet-maker, instead of a Cabinet Minister. He has held his place by making badworse, or by borrowing to pay the in brut; while at the same time he added to the piaci. pal debt. At the conclusion of the war, be and his colleagues sent the navy adrift, and continued to re cruit the army. They added to the bonbons of the country instead of effectually lessening them. The Coss of trade was not foreseen, or any thing done to prevent it. The digging of boleti and then filling them up again was the measure recommended so employ the people, instead of lowering the sum upon the necessaries of life. Our mann facturen is consequince became usable to cope with STA' others at foreign markets. Oar old friends base be- come our commercial enemies. Landlords are unpaid, tenants are bankrupts, confidence is lost, and we hove a return to Cash Payments without an adequate preps• ration for the result, by proper reduction in taxes. — Instead of seeing sinecures abolished, we see the poor clerks who have spent the prime of life in the Pelalic Offices sent to starve upon half pay ; while the heads retain their full salaries and patronage. A reduction of a few regiments has been wrung from the great Captains, though not a shilling °of their immense incomes redaced. We have no Bolivar* to give up their pay or profits to the distresses of the country. The Right Honourable Gentleman still pursues his plan of finance ; his mode of liquidating the national debt. Something, how ever, must be done to obviate the sponge " speedily and soon." Negotiations are now going on between the Courts of Vienna and Naples, relative to the reduction of the Army of Occupation, in Naples and Sicily, to 25,0110 men. The army of Naplef will not be recruited, nor called into activity, till after the definite evacuation of the States of Naples by the Austrians. Swiss regi ments will be employed in the interval, instead of native troops. It is affirmed by the Journal des Debate, that the period fixed by convention for the continuance of the Austrian auxiliary troops in the kingdom of Naples, is eight years. The French Government is actively engaged with a plan of forming agricultural establishments en the banks of the Senegal. Grants of land are given to every person who has the means of working them ; premiums and assistance are to be granted to the first planters; in short, every encouragement will be given to induce settlers to go there. REVOLUTION AT OUITANA..--BOSTON, OCT. 19.-1 few days previous to the sailing of the Fenelun, arrived at this port, news reached Pernambuco of a Revolu tion at Guyana, twelve leagues to the northward of Pernambuco. A brigade was immediately dispatched to that place, and. after them, a battalion called the Cacadores were sent, who took part with the Revolu tionists. The people were in great confusion. The following is an extract from a .ifadrid paper " MADRID, Nov. I.—We have seen letters from Milan of the 14th of Ortober, and from Turin of the 15th, brought by a courier extraordinary, and written by per sons worthy of credit. which contain the following In formation:—The Swiss Cantons have had the weakness to yield to the applications of the Cabinet of Vienna, and have signed a convention, in virtue of which the subjects of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom who have taken refage in the free territory of Switzerlaml, are to be given up to the Austrian authorities. The celebrated Count Porro of Milan, one of the richest landed pro prietors in the kingdom, who is involved in this anti constitutional measure, has resolved to seek an asylum in Prance. It is positively known that the Cabinet of Vienna has commenced similar applications to that of the Tuileries, and is impatiently expecting the result. The tribunals established at Milan for trying what are called political crimes have received orders to proceed with the greatest expedhloi, to order ti t lug all 111,61 pending causes to a conclusion. " King Charles Felix was expected to arrive at Turin on the 16th of October, add the po li ce lead-kired mes to hum him. But if hisMajestr should lAA to knew what are the real sentiments of his subjects. these put 4, chased acclamations will not prevent hum from perceiv ing grief and indignation . painted in the countenance of the inhabitants of Turin , in which almost every family has to deplore ono or more victims sacrificed to Austrian vengeance."--(El Universal) A letter from Calais contains, it appears, the fol lowing paragraph :—" All the Englishmen who as companied his Majesty on the journey from Hanover, are rejoiced t and express their congratulations tit each other, that all the dangers of the journey are over." To this paragraph, The Morning Chroniolt s l akes this a ddition :—" We sincerely sympathies, with our countrymen in these joyful sentiments. We have not been insensible to the perils of OUT Sows reign; and if we have been silent, it has been the si. leace of anxiety. How, lodged, could we be othee- 1 wise than alarmed, when we considered that he hail exposed his sacred person in an Englieb carriage, and with so few attendants, to the dangers, difficulties, and almost insurmountable obstacles of a journey of so many hundred Getman miles t When we eons sidered, also, that all these dangers and difficultlis must, of course, have increased tenfold since his Royal Great-grandfather performed the same journey' Letters received from Gibraltar, dated the 24th ultimo state, that the fever in the neighbourhood had greatly subsided. so much so, that the communication with Spain was daily expected to be re-opened. The public authorities at Malaga still confidently affirm that the sickness in that town was not the yellow fever. Very few new cases had been reported. Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated Oct. 23 : —" Captain Denham, who served with the Duke of Wel lington's army is the Peninsula sad 0 Waterloo, arrived, here en the 20th, in the Walsingkam packet, on his way to Tripoli, where he will take Charge of an expedition, which has been some time in agitation, for exploring Abe Inte rior of Africa ; he will be accompanied by a Dr. a Lieut. Clapperton, of the Navy, the former a Member of the Universitr of Edioburgh, and a sk id -1 ful sad intelligent Naturalist, will find a wide and iota-, seeing field for the exercise of his talents by a residence at Borate, where be will remain as Vice Consul, and by that means a point d'appui will be established nearly 1,000 miles from Tripoli, where the expedition ma rest during their subsequent operations , to the eastward and southward of that place. A Naval aerpeater, from the Dock-yard at Malta, will also accompany these Gentle men in their interesting and hazardous undertaking. Captain Denham will have the local rank of Major on the Continent of Africa." Barcelona letters received yesterday. afford agrees able intelligence that the fever was subsiding very d r, there, few sew cases having occurred for some previous to the departure of the mail. They ahem& don that the fever bad Dot attacked any of the lesher bitaots of Barcelona who had long resided in South America. and experienced the endemle peculim g that climate. So little were revers) persons of chit class now in Barcelona afraid of the fever, that they preferred remaining there, sad by their personal ser vices. as well as the fortones they had amassed abroad+ afforded considerable relief to the Bareeleaa sufferer% when others dreaded to appreoeh them. Saturday, at Aylesbury. there were upwards of 110 loads of wheat in the market, of which on ten were sold.—{Bads CArestiele.)

His Majesty i gave audiences to the Earl of Liverpool, Viscount Sid- I mouth, and the Marquess of Choltoondeley ; and also the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, Alderman Gar ratt and Alderman Venable', accompanied by T. Tyr. rell. Esq. the City Remembrancer, to take his Ma jesty's commands when he would he graciously pleased to receive the Address of the Court of Aldermen, and also the Address of the Court of Common Council, upon his Majesty's return from abroad; when the King was pleas-d to appoint this day at three o'clock for receiving the Address of the Court of Aldermen, and the Address of the Court of Com mon Council afterwards. The Court broke up a little after six o'clock. It it expected that his Majesty will leave town for Brighton on Monday next. Great preparations are making at Bnekingbam-honse for the King's reception. 1 t is now said, again, that his Majesty will reside there on his return to town.

Danish Bonds sold yesterday at from 80 to 804. — The contract was concluded in London, and has no . yet received the ratification of the King of Denmark, I but it is expected by the next mail. Meantime, the transactions in them are made subject to that ratifica tion. We were incorrect in stating that the power is reserved by Denmark of increasing the loan to three millions, in 1825, on the same terms ; she merely stipu lates for the right of raising an additional million and abalf on the same securities (that is, the Sound duties and revenue of her West India islands), leaving the terms to be adjusted by some future contractors, and not at all pledging the present ones. The house of Messrs. F. A. Haldemand and Sons has taken the whole of the loan now introduced into time market. We un derstand that the dividends on that portion of it which is in mares banco will also be paid in London.— (Time.) The following account of the Turkish force afloat too the Hlth oe September, has bee* furnished by a I Gentleman from Cork : At Zante-4 line of battle ships of 80 guns, 6 brigs of 1.4 and lb guns, 3 schooners; 1 frigate of 40 guns, 4 corvettes of 30 guns, 10 brigs of 14 and 1$ guns. 1 schooner of 12 guns—the four last mentioned rates ate Alexandrians. At Mevelo and Gomenitzen-3 frigates of 50 and 46 Rafts. 2 corvettes of 24 guns, 6 brigs of 16 and 18 guns, 2 xebecs of 10 and 12 guns, 2 schooners of 12 guns, 1 cutter of 8. guns. 4 gunboats of 4 and 6 guns; 30 fri gates of 30 guns, 3 brigs of 14 and IS guns, 1 lugger of S guns, 2 schooners of 10 and 12 guns, 1 gun boat—the five last mentioned rates are Algertnes. Total 64 sail, under the command of the Captain Bey. Also 16 gun boats not arrived. Cascelli, the Governor of the town of Naples during the revolution, has been arrested near Rome, at the in stance of the two Sieifies. He was ordered to be con ducted to Naples under an escort. Morelli and Ser val', accused of being the authors of the insurrection at Monteforte, have also been arrested on tl.eir em barkation in time dress of Greeks. Victor Emanuel and Prince Carignano, with their families, have it in eisittemplation to fix their residence at Rome. Letters from Havannab, dated Oct. sth, mention, that Mexico and Vera Crus had refused to accede to the late treaty entered into by I turbide, and sanctioned by the new Viceroy O'Donojo. They add, that fresh dissensions had broke out among the Independents. Extract of a private letter from Augsboure, Nov. 6.—1 can assure you, upon the best authority, that Count Lieven had no other mission to Hanover than that of congratulating his Majesty upon his arrival la that capital. and that he has taken no part in the dip %emetic negociations which may have engaged Prince Metternich and the Marquess of Londonderry. With respect to the negociations which have bees going on for some time between the great powers. relative to the affairs of Turkey, they are conducted by means of cor respoaddsce. The passage of couriers through our ltown is most frequent. On one day two French coa riers passed through in great baste for Petersburg. A gentleman (says a morning paper) bat offered to contribute 6,0001. towards the erection of an agricul tural and manufacturing village in Devonshire, on the plan of Mr2Owen, of Lanark, and to become himself a essident in the institution. In 1823 we may expect to see the Grand Western Canal of the state of New York completed, and an union of the Lake Superior and the Ocean. It is calculated 200 miles will be fit for navigation by the end of the next autumn. Another great work is now in contem plation, which will sustaio a second rank is utility, magnitude, and Importance. We refer to the canal which is to connect Lake Erie with the Ohio river. It will be about 200 miles in length, and cost about two aiillious of dullars.—(Asericaa Paper.)

Nov. 9.—The weather in our district was particularly mild and pleasant until Saturday afternoon, when it began to blow a heavy gale, accompanied with rain and sleet. The starm continued throughout the night with unabated violence; and on Sunday morning, the fields as far as the eye could reach, in the shires of Perth, rife, and Angus, were covered with snow. We have not sward that nny material mischief has Leen done by the gale, or that the shipping on our co.ist sustained any damage,—although the sea was heavily agitated. Mosynoss. Nov. 9.—A farther investigation of some circumstances in the case of Margaret Tindal. at present lying in the jail here, under sentence of death, for the murder of her husband, has been taken before the Sheriff on Monday and Tuesday last. In addition to the former evidence several witnesses were examin ed ; the result of the investigation is not yet •known. Whatever it may be, the reports that had gone abroad?, taken in connexion with the unfortunate woman's str---.; protestation of her innocence, called for farther inquiry to quiet the public. The justice awl huma nity of our laws, in criminal cases, have been exem plified in the treatment of this woman, by stepping out of the most common mode of proceeding, rather than refuse the accused every possible opportunity of brinz ing forward what might be deemed favourable. — The foolish stories propagated concerning the mears employed to obtain a respite, and extra-investi gation, do equally little honour to the heads and the hearts of those who invented them. The j ail is at present guarded through the night by the bur gesses, who take the duty by rotation, twelve eac!s night. The Expedition;new post coach, between Leeds and. Newcastle, was attacked on Gateshead Fell by several of Lord Ravensworth's troop of Yeomanry Cavalry,— These men appeared to be in a state of intoxication. — They rode fall gallop with drawn swords against the coach, and had it not been for the " glorious uncer tainty" of hitting what they aimed at, which a si tuatien like their's generally causes, there is every reason to believe that the vehicle would have been thrown over. We understand Lord Ravensworth has himself expressed the strongest disapprobation of the men in question. Though we are glad that his Lord ship has done so, we cannot help deploring the fre quent recurrence of snob scenes. if Yeomanry Ca valry, or any Cavalry, are to be maintained, why cannot they be kept sober ? if they cannot be kept sober, there is only this--stich crops ought not to exist at all—(Tyne Mercury) EARTIIQUIMII.--During the earthquake near the Lippe, stated yesterday, glasses, china, and every thing moveable, and even walls were strongly shaken, and persona who were at the time sitting, were sensi bly lifted from their seats. The noise which accom panied the shock was like that of three or four car riages rolling one after the other over a bridge. Some persons insist that they felt two distinct shocks, one of which followed the other after an interval of a few mi nutes. Although there are different accounts as to the duration of the noise, it appears unquestionably to7' have lasted for several seconds. Persons who were in the open air believed they heard thunder. There had been a fog on the 27th, 28th, and 29th, and on the evening of the earthquake it was so thick that one could not see a few steps before him. Las= MOMSXTII or BONAPARTE.•—•Under this head some pretended anecdotes have been copied into many of the daily papers, from a pamphlet lately pub lished at Nibs, entitled Captivity of Bonaparte at St. Helena. The teadency, if not the aim of these anec dotes, is to place in an unfavourable light the character of the unfortnnats and illustrious exile ; and the au thority on which the rest seemed so very equivocal that we forebore to give them insertion. It now turns out that these pretended anecdotes first appeared in an English pamphlet, which, a respectable morning paper says, is to be seen kith, windows of a shop in Fleet-street, the depot of a Sunday paper notorious for the calum nies of the living and the dead. Independent of this very suspicious origin, the writer adds, we have the best authority for pronouncing the whole of the pre tended anecdotes to be fabrications. The ancient family of the celebrated Reformer John Wycliffe, became extinct a few days ago by the death of Thomas Wycliffe, Esq. whose ancestors have been settled at Richmond, in Yorkshire, ever since the reign of Rdward the First.
