LONDON, THURSDAY, SIMI/MIL 112, 1612 i. The Paris papers of Monday add nothing material to the for,ign intelligence we Dave already received. The Litrigues of the Apostolic party in Spain are carried on with great boldness; but M. Zew maintains his ground against them, and has baffled them in most of their pro jects. But the Government is as cruel and sanguinary as ever towards the unfortunate Constitutionalists ; a petition for mercy reached the KING lately from some Freemasons imprisoned at Grenada. The answer they received was au order "tl.at they should immediately be put to death. question between M. Zt. A and the Apostolic party is merely a struggle for power ; and in the execution of the • Batritermano, and the treatment of the Freemasons of Grenada, we have proofs that the royal authority could • hardly be made the instrument of greater enormities than it is at present. The only news we have respecting the Greeks is from Coostant•nople, where it it understood the Divan have re- cored in.`armati ri of the resolution of the Greeks to place th , Wr astional independence and political existence under trite protection of Great Britain. The augmentation of the English navy in the Levant, is stated as a fact connected with dui measure. The Divan are represented to be seri ously rAlecting on these proceedings.

Mr. Potts, the eminent vinegar merchant, it is currently reported, will start as a candidate for that borough, in opposition to one of the present Members. PXTERSFIELD.—Mr. Atcheson, the solicitor has de clared his intention of contesting this borough with the sit ting Members; with what chance of wan cannot be determined. SOOTHANIPTON.—The two Members, Sir W. Do Cres pigny 'and W. Chamberlayne, Esq., have signified their intention to retire. The present Candidates are, A. It. Dottina, Esq., who was unsuccessful last time; W. A. Mackinnon`, Esq., of Hyde Park-place; and it is thought 11. Mildmay, Esq., the son-in-law of A. Baring, Esq. , may offer himself. Lord Porchester has been talked ci, but does not come forward. _ _ _ If we may judge from the proceedings of the SHlP walnuts' Ustort, they seem resolved to substitute an entirely new theory of subordination in lieu of that which they have so recently thrown off'. They appear to have enacted a new code of combination laws in the place of those which Parliament have repealed. By their code their sirs sentence is to be, in all cases, final. They will hold [Sighing by favour--..they will accept nothing by compro nolse—they will ask what wages they please, and they will lime what they ask as of right. If all power is to be litenslated—as it seems the intention of the Union Corn-I toittee that it shall be—from the bands of the employers OD those of the workmen, it will certainly be no easy matter to settle their pretensions. It seems intended on the Net of the shipwrights that it should be a trial of strength. Indeed, the whole combination system has been commenced, and is carried on in that spirit. But the conflict of numbers against property can never be a drawn battle. It is a propensity that experience has uniformly discovered in the mind of man to usurp power, and there seems at present but too prevailing an inclination in the working clams to possess themselves forcibly of a dominion which, in the nature of things, they never can obtain, and which if they could obtain, they never could exercise but with ruin to others and to themselves. They may continue for a time the present state of broil and confusion in which they have involved the master manufac turers—but in what can it end ? Property, after all, must preponderate: it cannot be otherwise. That class whose lot is labour—useful as they may be in their station, and invaluable as their services may be in their proper sphere of duty—can never hope to make a new distribution of the powers and interests of society. They mapiadeed disturb, but they cannot destroy, the order which Providence has established in the world, for the furtherance of civil society and the security of private rights. They have their allotment of power, which, if well and wisely exercised, is adequate—at all times—to what ought to be its purpose, and to the attainment of whatever it ought in justice to accomplish; hut the instant it seeks to be paramount, its numerical strength becomes its real weakness, because it gives birth, from necessity antagonist force, against which, while the order government exists, it can never successfully contend. As W the attempt to regulate wages by the provisions, it is utterly impracticable. It can never Sr oesaarnas will be warmly contested by two Gentle men on the Grosvenor interest ; and by Lord Hertford's interest, represented by Colonel Cook,* of the Guards. It is also thought that E. Barham, Esq., the late Lord of the Manor, will offtr himself. WINCHESTER.-.-11 is imagined that an attempt will be made against the sitting Members; but as yet no one is named. _ _ _ _ . . ---- TAUNTON.-Mr. iVarre has declared his intention of following the example of his colleague, Mr. Baring, in withdrawing himself from the representation of Taunton at the next election.

There is in this proceeding a great degree of dim itnerestedness ; there is also dignity in the manner in which the Prince expresses his hope, in the termination of his letter, that M. Segur will retract what he has said upon that subject.—Courrier FrancuiJ. The Hamburgh Papers receivtd yesterday state that, with regard to the three ships of war bought of the Swe dish Government by Messrs. Michaelson and Co. (and sup posed to be for the use of the Greeks or Colombians), the 'sale will remain in force, and that the ships will very soon put to sea, but the embarkation of Swedish officers in them is prohibited. file Frankfort Papers contradict the report that the Ha noverian Government had let a part of the mines of the 1 Hartz to an English Mining Company. It it, however, true, that a Company which has been formed in England 'fee mining speculations, is to be permitted to sink a shaft in a part of the Hartz where no mine has yet beep opened, in order to see whether, at a depth not yet sounded, there is any ore which is worth the trouble of working. The Allgerneine Zeitung to the 14th instant says, that letters from Corfu of the 21st August confirm the news of the defeat of the Seraskier, Redschid Pasha, on his re treat after the unsuccessful attack on Missolonghi. It was on the 7th of August, according to the statement of the Allgemeine Zeituug, that a corps of 3,000 Greeks, under the command of Goura, attacked the Turkish camp at Carvassara, succeeded in throwing the enemy into con fusion, and in spiking some of their cannon and mortars. NAVIGATION or THE RHINE.—In the last sitting of the Central Committee for the Navigation of the Rhine, it is said that the Members gave their votes on the first para graph of the definitive regulation, which treats of free na vigation ; that Prussia, Bavaria, and Hesse declared, that by the liberty given by the Congress of Vienna, the tinob. structed navigation into the open sea was to be understood. Baden and Nassau are said to have declared for France and Holland, which, as according to act of Congress, the n of ' • majority of the Cen. the minority. The probably be shortly - after nine yearn removed, wh the Central C attempted on any painciple of common sense or of justice. It is preposterous for the workmen in an to attempt to regulate their price-book by the returns Leadenhall or of Mark-lane. As well might the ' neymen bakers or butchers fix ther wages by the price of ship-timber. It is manifest that the •ery same causes which tend to advance food to a higher price than usual, may at the same time lessen the demand for that very oftep see in German, articles most false and Greece. These Journalists, knowing that this city is likely to receive the first news front the theatre of war, conceal, under the date of Trieste, the fables which they desire to circulate ; and even if they do come from Trieste they can only be ascribed to corrupted individuals, or to unfaithful correspondents. We, therefore, think it oar duty to caution the public against giving any credit to these pretended articles from Trieste. It has long been notorious that there is p manu factory of news st . Trieste ; but it must be owned that it has greatly eltelined since the establishment of that at Zante. This latter takes a much bolder flight. With rare assurance it puts into circulation the most impudent falsehoods."-7'rieste Observer, August 29. Advices from Copenhagen announce that the Norwegian 1 Bank has reduced the rate of interest from 5 to 4 per cent. It is added, that this reduction of interest will not lessen the dividend to its shareholders. labour, for which the workmen would insist upon an increase of wages. No man of sound mind can reflect a moment, without perceiving not only that such a de mand, under such circumstances, would be most unrea sonable in itself, but that it could not be complied with. That is the most prosperous state of a manufacturing country, in which, while food is cheap wages continue' high, and where consequently the reward of labour ope rates as a stimulus to industry. It is a bad cmdition of society, in which the labouring classes are perpetually struggling to keep poverty at arm's length. But it dues not therefore follow, that the expense of subsistence ought to regulate the rate of manufacturing wages. It' cannot be too often repeated, that the attempt on the part of the working classes to insist upon this measure of value, can only arise from a want of those just prin ciples of thinking and reasoning which it most behoves them to attain. Wages in every branch of manufacture must depend on the decreasing demand or the extra consumption ; these are the barometers by which they must rise or fall ; but the prices of bread and butcher meat &mate, it is obvious, with various causes with which these are not connected, and upon which they have no influence. We have received Canada Papers to the 17th of August, They afford local information of some interest. The har vest had commenced, and the report was favourable ; the wheat crops were particularly productive. The Agricul tural Society had given medals for the best fields of wheat, l.oate, barley, &c.; and the general improvement of Ca nada is described as rapid. The reports from the Upper Country were also flattering. About 3,000 settlers from Scotland and Ireland bad passed through Montreal. The races at Quebec had, however, rather disappointed the gentlemen of the turf, and the disappointment was more particularly felt as the suticriptions had been tpost li beral. The tea sales had attracted great interest, being the first direct importations from China ; the merchants anticipated great benefits from the traffic, and they say they will supply the United States with all articles frotp the East, particularly as the duties imposed in the United States are heavy. This circumstance had attracted a larger attendance of the merchants of New York, &c. to As for the present combining system, it cannot long go on without extirpating the Capitalist. lie will soo, find it his interest to carry his money and his ma chinery where he can employ them, not only profitably; but in quiet and repose. This he must in vain setk for, as long as the rise or reduction of wages is ' be perpetually contended for between manufacturers their Workinen. - - workmen, al between_ - ft° leave and hostile teresta. As far as legislation is concerned, undoubtedly laws which best defended each, would best protect all. present the boundaries of all law are threatened, and that general capital, which is the object of common concern, and in the employment end circulation of which the pro. eperity of the whole community depends, is placed in a con• dition which it is fearful to look upon, and the issue at which it is not easy to prophecy.

TfIE LATE Mau. LONG WELLESLEY.—This lamented lady excites a great degree of interest in the fashionable world. There were many visitors to see her remains on Saturday last, which were exhibited in the coffin. On Monday morning, at the hour of nine o'clock, the corpse was removed from Richmond, wkere she died, on the way to Draycot, in Wiltshire, the seat a Lady Tilney, thereto be deposited in the family vault. The melancholy procession consisted of the hearse, in which the coffin was borne, drawn by six horses, and three mourning coaches, drawn by four horses each. The first coach contained Mr. Scarborough and Mr. Wright, and in the two following were the nurse, three maid-servants, coachman, and foot man of the late lamented lady. The two Misses Long, and Mr. Bicknel, the late unhappy lady's steward, set off for Draycot, post, on Tuesday. His Grace the Duke of Wellington is to join the mournful procession this day, at Chippenham, within five miles of Draycot. We understand that the 7,0001. a-year, awarded by the decree of the creditors, will go to the support of the children ; in this case Mr. Long Wellesley will lose the 4,000/. per annum his late wife made over to him. The property, on the day of marriage, exceeded, in value, 40,000/. a-year !

ADELPH THEATE E.—The comic strength of the com pany at this theatre, under the new management of Terry and Yates, promises to be most effective. These proprietors have judiciously retained the old favourites of the esta blishment, and intend, we understand, to aid their at • traction by the potent addition of their own well-known t talents. The theatre is undergoing several alterations and improvements preparatory to its opening early the next month. The saloon will be newly fitted up, in a style combining chasteness and splendour, and the accom modation of the public, in every respect, attended to as I far as the present brief space before the season will per mit. We hear also most favourable accounts of the novelties which are ready for the opening night ; the first of which will be a prelude of great point and good humour.

The survivor is not known, or at least his name is a secret. The deceased came to the ground with a friend in a post-chaise, and the survivor and another in a gig, and the affair was seen by some husbandry men only. The wound was on the left aide, below the breast; the ball had passed through slantingly. 24 itw —Laos Cisix..—Tles-most. apt or circulatirY nee withdi measures for L.

LITZRARr GLEANIXOA. XXXIII. Bisnor Waastrarox.—Bistiop Newton's delineation of this learned prelate is no bad companion to the portrait Of him, as given by Dr. JOHNSON in his life of Pope. " Bishop Warburton was in a great measure lost to the world and to his friends untie years before his death, b e the decay of his intellectual faculties, the body pressing down the mind that mused upon many things; which bath been the case of many a great genius as well as him self. For be was indeed a great genius, of the most ex tensive reading, of the most retentive memory, of the meet copious invention, of the liveliest imagination, of the sharp.. eat discernment, of the quickest wit, and of the readiest and happiest application of his immense knowledge to the present subject and occasion. He was such an universal reader, that he took delight even in romances ; and there is scarce one of any note, ancient or modern, that he ' had not read ; he said himself that be hail lear ne d Spanish to have the pleasure of reading Don Qesa ote in the original. He was excellent and admirable both as a companion and a friend. As a companion t,e did not dwell upon little trivial matters, but disclosed a nicer vein of conversation, was lively and entertaining, was instructive and improving, abounded with pleasant stories and curious anecdotes; but sometimes took the discourse too much to himself, if any thing can be said to be too much of such an inexhaustible fund of wit and kerning. As a friend he was ingenuous and communicative, . woad answer any question, would resolve any doubts, deliver his sentiments upon all subjects freely without reserve, laid open his very heart, and the character which he was pleas e d to give Mr. Pope, of being " the soul of friendship," w ee more justly applicable to him, and more properly his eeee , The same warmth of temper which animated is friend'. ship, sharpened likewise his resentment ; but even to la s enemies, if Le was easilysprovoked, he was as easily tacos. tiled, especially after the least acknowledgement and sub omission, so that his friends truly applied to him the saving •` Irasci facials, *amen tat plarabilit esset." He was rather a tall, robust, large-boned man, of a frame that seemed to require a good supply of provisions to sup port it; but he was sensible, if he had lived as other people do, he must have used a geed deal of exorcise; and if he hail used a good deal of exercise, it must have inter ruined the course of his studies, to which he was so de voted as to deny himself ahy other indulgence, and so be came a singular example, not only of temperance, but even of abstinence in eating and drinking ; and yet his apish: were not lowered or exhausted, but were rather raised and increased by such low living. The best and most valuable memorials of Bishop Warburton will be his own works. And yet his capital work, the Divine Leg a tio n of Moses , is left unfinished, to the loss and regret of all who have any regard for religion or,learning. It is indeed a leer much to be lamented, whatsoever was the cause, whether he was disgusted at the ill reception which was given to the work by several of the clergy, for whose use and ser vice it was principally intended; or whether he was di- verted from it by the numerous controversies wherein he was engaged in defence of it. But he should have cared fur none of these things, but should have proceeded di rectly and steadily to the end. The viper might have fastened upon his hand, but, like St. Paul. he should have shaken oft' the beast into the fire; and, like him too, would certainly have felt no harm." Da. Jon re SAVA a E.—The 'benevolent President of the famous club at Royston, was Rector of Clothall, Herts. and Lecturer of St. George's, Hanover-square. He was called the Aristippes of the age. "In his younger days,' says Bishop Arewton," he had travelled witb an Earl of Salisbury, to whom lie was indebted for a considerable living in Hertfordshire ; and in his more advanced years visas lively, pleasant, facetious old man. One day at the levee Geoaos I. asked him, How to,lg he had stayed at Roue with Lord gamine fa ? Upon his answering bow long, Why, said the King, you stayed long enou gh, why did you not convert the Pope?'—' B ecause, Sir, ' ref plied he; I had nothing better to offer him.' Having peen bred at Westminster, he had always a great fondness f,:t the =boo', attended all their plays and elections, assisted in all their public exercises, there grew young again, end among boys was a great boy himself. The King'.l scbolart hal.so great a regard to him, that, after his decease, they made a collection among themselves, and at their own charge erected a monument to his memory in the Clcrysters.' The monument the Bishop mentions, is a small tablet of white marble on the right-hand side of the door lgadiog into the Chapter-house, and is thus inscribed 4 JOHANNI SAVAGE, S. T.

CAIiTE'S HISTORY OF ENOLAND.—This learned Imo- lisp historian was a man of singular character, and his life was replete with incident. The Corporation of London were among the subscribers to his history; but baying oc casion to speak of the unction of our Kings, he indiscreetly threw out some doubts as to the real efficacy of the rogoi touch in the case of CHRISTOPHER LOVELL, a satire of %Vella, in Somersetsbire, who was afflicted with the evil. The loyal corporation upon this unanimously resolved to withdraw their subscription. This influential example acted upon many others, and his history fell, for a time, into general neglect. He was not, however, deterred by this from prosecuting his undertaking. It was intended to be carried up to the period of the Restoration, but con ' dudes with the year 1764. Cater e's absence of mind was extraordinary. Stem years before his death, which happened in 1764, he rithi bis addresses to Miss Dui;nsui, of Blytli Hall, near Coleshill, a lineal descendant of the illustrious Antiquary, and the wedding day was fixed ' • but he actually forgot to go till the day after that whi c h had been appointed, when the lady with great indignation refused her hand, and tie matoh was broken oft. He carried his carelessness in money matters to such an extent, that when the inhabitants of Stoke brought him his tithes, which be never took the trouble to ask for, it not unfrequently happened, if he mai engaged in his studies, that he would request they would call again, though at the very tim e he wa s actually in or czssitous circumstances. The parsonage-house of Stoke adjoins the church-yard, yet he was sometimes so intent co the book he happened to be reading, that the sermon-14 enwregeeiwa wen- weary -0.-eruishig., and 15t _ was under the necessity of reminding him of his duty. During the fifteen years in which he was Viotti of Ilitecxtry, be neglected to make any demand tit the handet of Hype, in that parish ; which his ad ministrator discovering after his death, made a claim on the inhabitants of that hamlet for tithes in kind, and to recover them filed a Bill in Chancery. The particulars ef this suit will be found in Atkyns's Reports, M. 449, and Vezey's Rep. i. 3. He was a man of a very upright mind, with a most tem perate and cheerful disposition.
