education that prevented the commission of crimes. In St. Giles's there was a perpetual scene educa tion going forward, the children of the poste early instruite.°, first in the commission of small. and the* in the c , mitigation of great crimes, which ulti mately led to te-eir desunition. Of the number who were annually brought to the gallows in toffs kingdom, it would be found that the majo. jority could nr ither iv. ite nor read. Upon this point lie sbeul here take occasion to remark, that the pe nal code oldie country was by far too extensive and eigrous in regal , ' to the extermination of life. He might live butane, the society of people called Quakers, who were well known to be aniversalli iostru&ed in reading and writing, and who are scarcely ever known to commit a crime. It was not to be at ,vu d, that the sum to be raised, to aid this grand siljeft in England, was enormous, because ou Nortli:rn countrymen. the Scotch, only required 60001 It must be recolletled. how much more po i:mits; and extensive England was in comparison to that part of the kingdom. Some people argued that the Scotch could not be bevefite t by theft education were they to remain in their own ceentry. and that it tended to make tnem emigrate. This was no ar gument against the policy and propriety of educa tion. He was glad to see the Scotch go into other countries, because they certainly did great credit to Vie country to which they be. longed. Was it found, that because the Sootek were in general well educated. they were iinly desi rous of getting into countiagehonws i Were it so. the consequence would be that there would be so councils., houses to hold them. They were. from their etiIICAIIMS. capable of a general excellence in all busine.'es and professions ; and a sufficient number se,ite Away- to be found to till the snit. By the ex altation of the eharafter of the labourer we were not in destril that labourer ; every thing being better patient J in proportion as the person perform. ins it was well silo:used and instructed. What do we say of mob that has committed enormous nets ages f Do we not say that such and such mis chiei 414 S been committed by an illiterate mob f And yet were we to be toad, do not for God's sake instruct them. for if you will, they will immedi ately commence the writing of Seditious Pamph lets. We had a recent instance of use commit:men of the want of education in our sister King dom of Ireland. where late events had shown that an iminstructet people could be convertible to any purposes. He felt satisfaction in bearing what had !Alen trim a Right Himourable Gentleman oppo site. Mr. H. Brown, as to the superiority of a vo lisntary system over a compulsory one. It coin. c Jed with his own opinion upon t h e subject ; and such were the nature of the improve mem a be expected the system he had submitted to them to undergo It was, however. solely none the principle of the measure the Flout. were now called on to deci.f,•, ao i f he ther-fore begged of them not to be too hasty in t. ca decision. so as to throw out • Bill, which. when modified and amended. might be prndetive of advantage to th roun•ry The CHANCLLLOR of the I.I.Ks.:I4I , QUSR stated. at some coosiarrable iengrh, his opinion apes the sti9 Pt of a general system of education. and • essed his approbation. with some exceptions. of that now submitted to the House. He spoke in fae your of all wing the Bill to proceed to the letig•h of a comtnitta' during this Session. and therefore he supported the original motion as to the second read. log • Mr SHAW LEFEVRE made some observa tions, a o what tad been stated as to the crimi nal code :the Kiagd•im, which he did not think was too severe as to the punishment by death. He re minded the House, and the lion. Gentleman *ha had alluded to it. of the many instances of the Royal Mercy extended to criminals under sentence of death. He approved nincli of the crime of forgery being invariably punished by the deprivation of existence. When he looked into all the machinery which this sal oompreheeded, be did not think any benefit could result from going into a Committee this Session. Sir JOHN NEWPORT observed. that the very circumstance of the Royal Mercy bon so efts. extended to criminals, was evidence or the news. city of some reformist/as of the defects in our eel misal Cod* of Laws. He was far from being of opinion, that the crime of forgery was prevented from frequent recurrence by the punishnseat being dealt. Same other panishossot, of more lasting do ratios and example, would operate more towards the prevention of this crime. than an ezansple, the recol lection of which powwow*y so soon from the triads of the people. lo support of this, his opinion, he could instance the condua of Leopold. Grand Duke of Tuscany, who bad abolished all his code of penal laws, and during the interval of abolition. the fre quency of crimes was not nearly so great.

They contain the 81st, 82d, and 83d, Bulletins of the Grand Army, all dated from Tilsit, the last of them on the 23d June. They contain the armistice with Russia, but do not notice any armistice con clad d with Prussia. The 82J Bulletin boasts that the town and territories of Memel ate all that re main to His PRUSSIAN MAJISTY. These Papers contain some details of the late revolution at Con. stantinople. The late Sultan Sat tie died of poison, which he was ordered to take by his Successor, thin verifying the adige, which says, that " 'Elie dis tance is short between the prisons and graves of 'minces." The French Funds are 78 fr. 15 cents. We announced, yesterday, the arrival of Captain La, enoriaer, at the Admiralty, on Sunday, with dispatches. That officer is C*ll2, from the Elbe, and by him Government have received accounts from Usk, dated the 49th last. On that day the Emperor Of Russia, the Kira of Pausu►, arid Br is, had an interview in thaii MVO* What passed on that estraordhutry octagon. of course, is not known, bat there is strong rea.on to barber« that it was the immediate forerstimer of a ?e•eee. One fact only respecting this Interview has come ti t• r knowledge, that it was agreed that the King of Swz ta should be invited to accede to the Armis tice, preparatory to a general Contin.ntal Peace . --We do not ea any course left for Sweden hut compliance. and in that event it will not be sec's sa,-y to force the Sound. Our Expedition tea have no inducement to proceed to Stralsund. Government received. on Sunday evening. a second set of dispatches front Lord Hu scot t•SO:4 They are said t 3 announce, that Prelimroaries of Peace have bran signed between Massie and France. Phis is very probable. Government have not received positive intell • genre that Denmark has refused a passage to rat:- expedition through the Sound, but no doubt is e. tertained of her determin soon to do so. A B Lit • of Admiralty was held, yesterday. at which Sir SA NULL HOOO attend-d, where it is understood he received his iustrudt ms and appointment as Com modore or the squadron destined to force the pas sage of the Slued. Of the six sail of the line ordered lc: that purpose from Portsmouth, three. viz the h*,•:racer, the Maids, and the firemori,i, ar• rived, on Sunday, in the Downs. lb • ships front Portsmouth will, it is said, be joined by our North Sea squadron, an I other vesi•ls, making ia the whole 21 sell. The Danish Navy am ow, in about 110 sail of the line, including one 90 gun ship, two of eighty-lour, IS seventy-'our. and 4 of sixty-four guns. exclusive of frigates, ilt . The Ministerial Pt ints anticipate with confidence and joy a second victory over the Danes. but the histi:ty of the last doss not justify such sanguine expectations. The Thiee Crowns" had just opened its batte. ries with dreadful 'Wed upon our fleet before Copen hagen, when the white flag was unfurled from Lord NELSON'S main•top, and by that extraordinary promptitude of mind. which belongs only rd nape.- rior genius, be availed Mosul( of the critical mo ment that decided the fate of the day. That great man, however, said, that an attack upon Copenha gen was a game nit to be played over again. and it is well known, that the place has beets since fortified to an event that is deemed impregnable. Great and powerful then as oar navy may be, we must dread the result of en attack apes Copenhagen. Should it, however, be only con templation to force the passage of the Sound, that we may, no doubt, accomplish ; but an achieve• m.nt that will merely e . able our transports to go to Stralsund, must be of little value ; and it is not im probable, that the Swedish, as well as the Danish side of the Streight, will oppose their return. A number of pilots, acquainted with the navigation of the Sound and the Baltic, were ordered aboard, yesterday, without a moment's delay. Dutch Papers to the 9th inst. hare reached town.
