FEB. 7. Notwithstanding the advantage which the Greek fleet has gained over the Turks, it seems that the action was not general, and that the'Greeka did not succeed in whally de-blockading 31issolonglii, which ii closely invested by four well-armed frigates, which suffer nothing to enter or quit that place. It even seems that the garrison has not been supplied with provisions, as was said, by the Greek fleet ; but that, on the contrary, it is in the greatest distress for subsistence, which pieces it under the necessity of making a despe ►ate effort, the real consequences of which are apprehended. The fact in, that the most distinguished persons of the nobility of this country have set on foot a subscription to afford the most prompt assistance to the inhabitants of that town. Four boats, laden with biscuit, are gone thither ; twa vessels, with similar cargoes. are waiting at Cephalonia for a favourable moment to sail.

ROMAN EXECUTIONS. t From the Coarrier Frawea;s.l Several individuals, among whom were Prince Spada and other distinguished personages, having been accused of carbonarism, were condemned, the noblemen to imprisonment, and the others to death. It is usual at Rome to wait till sunset before confessing the criminals; but it seems they had not so much patience with the carbonari, who having behaved with extraordinary resolution, were executed at mid-day in the Plana del Popolo, much to the surprise of those who have any knowledge of the Roman practice in such cases. But another execution soon after produced a more profound sensation. The criminal in this case was one of those prelates who are not priests, and are called Monsignori. He was conducted to the Plazzo del Popolo, and suffered there a punishment which seems to have been inspired by a scruple similar to that of the Bishop of Beauvais, who carried no weapon in battle but a club, because the church, as he said, abhorred the thoughts of blood. He was knocked down at mid-day on the Piazza del Popolo, at the most frequented entrance of Rome, while a great number of strangers vete arriving every instant. The executioner, observing that the unfortunate man who had fallen under his club still breathed, opened an artery in his neck, quartered his body, and sent the palpitating limbs to be exposed to the gaze of the multi tude.

It has more venom, and is written in a tone of still more outrageous violence, than his first epistle. Judging from the language of the writer, one would really think that, instead of the assimilation of the currency north and south of the Tweed, some measure of oppression was about to be acted against Scotland more transcendantly dreadful than had ever roused the resentment of an ag grieved and persecuted people. One should be actually led to imagine that the circulation of the blood of a Scotch man and the circulation of one and two-pound note, were equally essential to his existence, and that when the latter ceased to be current the former must come to a stop. The renowned Sir WALT I.Rstrives as ardently to kindle the spirit of resistance in his countrymen, as if some act of tyranny was about to thrust them down from their pro per elevation, and to cut up all their political rights and enjoyments root and branch. Ile would have all the tribes of the North, friends and foes, Whigs and Tories, shake hands together over all old enmities, and merge all their mutual animosities in one common feeling against Ministers and their metallic currency. " Let these follies," says • the great Magician of the Age,' as the Chancellor of the Exchequer styled him—" Let these follies be ended, and do not let us, like our ancestors at Falkirk, fall to jealousies among ourselves,when heart, and voice, and hand, should be united against the foreign rwerny. I was about to erase the last word ; but let it remain, with this explanation—that the purpose of this invasion of our rights is acknowledged to be kind and friendly; but as the measure is unauthorized by justice, conducted without regard to the faith of treaties, and contrary to our national privi. leges, we cannot but teem the enterprise a hostile one. When Henry VIII. despatched a powerful invading army to compel the Scots to give the hand of their young Queen Mary to his son Edward, an old Scottish nobleman shrewdly observed, He might like the match well enough, but could not brook the mode of wooing.' We equally are sensible of England's gond will, we only do not relish the mode in which it is at present exhibited. •' The Scottish Members having thus adopted a healing ordi nance, reconciled their part) quarrels, or laid them aside for the time, would by that very act decide the fate of their country, and when drinking to concord among Scotsmen of all political opinions, In the cup an Union shall they throw, Metter than that which four successive kings In Britain's crown have worn. Thus united, Sir, their task will be a resit easy one. Let each, in his own style, and with the degree of talent, from plain common sense up to powerful eloquence, with which he chances to be gifted, state to AdMinistragon the sentiments of his constituents, and those of his own hresst; let it be perfectly understood that the Representatives of Scotland sptak in the name of their country, and are determined, one and all, to see the threatened and obnoxious measure departed from, and till that lime to enter Into no public baisiness,—l cannot help thinking that such a remonstrance, in a case of r ind importance to Scotland, and of such trifling conae. quence to England, would be of itself perfectly sufficient. But if not, our Representatives must stand firm. I would advise that, to all such intimations as are usually circulated, bearing, ' That your presence is earnestly requested on such an evening of the de. bate, as such or such a public manure is coming on,' the concise answer should be returned, ' We arc jot...and-forty ; ' and that no Scottish Members do on such occasiors attend—unless It be those who feel themselves conscientiously at liberty to top against Governtivnt on the division. Is this expecting too much from our countrymen, on whom we have devolved so absolutely the charge of our sights, the duty of stating our wrongs P We exclaim to them io the language of the eloquent Lord BIELHAVEN—: Should not the memory of our noble predecessors' val.tur and constancy rouse TIIE BRITISH PRESS. up our drooping spirits ? Are our brave ancestors' souls got so far into the English cabbage-stock and cauliflower, that we Outdid show the least inclination that way ? Are our eyes so blinded— Are our masa deafened—Are our hearts so hardened—Are our tongues so faltered—Are our hands so fetteml, that, in this our day —I Ray, my eountrymen,in this our day, we should not mind the things that concern the well-being, nay, the very being, of our an cient kingdom, oefore the day be hid from our eyes?'—lf there is, among that chosen band, a mean_spirited Scotsman, who pre. lets the orders of the Minister to .ho unanimous voice of his Country, imploring the protection of her childran, let England keep kiln to herself. Such a man is deaf even to the voice of self•inte rest as well and' patriotism. Ile cannot be a Scotch proprietor— he hazards his own rents ; he cannot be a Scotchman employed in commerce—he undermines his own trade; he cannot be a profes sional person—he sacrifices the law of his country ; lie cannot be a Scottish man in spirit—he betrays the honour of Scotland. Let Aim go nut faun: among us—he is not of us. LA. hint, I say, re main in England, and we wish her joy of such a denizen. bet hint have his title and his pension—for tut cur deserves his collar and his bone. But do not let him come back to Scotland, where his presence will be as unwelcome to us, as our reception may be un. gratifying to him." lVonld not any one conclude that the altars of the Scottish nation were about to he prostrated, and their rights trampled under foot? Against what, after all, is this great barrier to be erected ?—Against the introductio of gold and silver! It is against this terrible measure that the tocsin of alarm is sounded, and that the " Scots wha ha'e wi' Wallace bled" are once more eallv:1 out to pro tect the fabric of their national independence ! The lay of this patriotic Minstrel runs, in effect, thus:—Annihilate the Bank of Englatel and welcome, but let our paper currency be kept sacred ;—carry reform on your own side the Tweed to any extent you pler.se, but on our side let amid! notes at least be kept secure from your sacrilegious violence ;—give us free trade if you will, afford us the means of transporting our manufactures to all parts of the globe, but let not his Majesty's Ministers exhibit such an enormity against heaven and good faith as to say to the bankers of Edinburgh, " Thus far shalt thou go, and no further ;"—we can behold with a steady eye the distresses of trade and the destruction of confidence in England, owing to the excessive issue of its country bank paper, but who can view with patient speculation an outrage offered to a Scotch one-pound note? All the republican energies of MALACHI MALAGROWTHER quicken and rise up within him at the bare contemplation of it ! His patriotism grows quite frantic—not only will he have the Scotch Members of the Lower House desert their station and their duty in Parliament, till they shall hare brought Ministers to a true sense of subserviency, but he will in sist that the Scotch l'cers row in the same boat with the' , Commoners, and that they go down the tide of rebellion together. " It is needless to say, that what Scotland demands from her re presentatives in the !louse of Commons, she expects, with equal confidence and ardour, front the small, but honourable portion of the tipper House, who draw their honours from her ancient do mains. Their ancestors have led her armies, concluded her trea ties, managed her government, served her with hand and heart, sword and pen ; and by such honourable merit with their country. have obtained the titles and distinctions which they have transmit ted to the present race, by whom, we are well assured, they will be maintained with untarnished honour. A Scottish Lord will dare all, save what is dishonourable; and whom among them could we suspect of deserting the l'arent of his Honours,, at the very moment when she is calling upon him for his filial aid? Sir, 1 pledge my self, ere I am done, to girr such a piths; e of the impending distress of this country, that a Scotsman, and especially a Scottish noble man, would need to take opium and mandragora, should he hope to slumber, after having been accessary to bringing it on. If the voice of the public in streets and highways did not cry shame on his de. generacy, even inanimate objects would find a voice of reprobation. The stones of his ancient castle would speak, and the portraits of his ancestors would frown and look black upon him, as he wandered in his empty halls, now deprived of the resort of the rich, and the homage of the vassal. But I have no fear of this. A little indo.. lence—a little indifference—may have spread itself among our young men of rank ; the prevailing fashion and fault of the day. But the trumpet of war has always chased away such lethar. gic huntours ; and tne cry of their common country, that invocation which Scotland now sends forth front one end of the land to the other, is a summons yet more imperious, and will be, 1 am confi dent, as promptly obeyed. " It may be said, that the measures which I venture to recom. mend to our Scottish representatives, of tacking, as it were, their pe:ition of rights to every other measure, and making it, so fir as they can, a tine qua non to their accommodation with Government, may be the means of Interrupting the general business of the em. pire. " To this objection I reply, first, that I only recommend such a line of conduct as an oltimutn rentcdium, after every other and milder mode of seeking redress shall have been resorted to, and ex hausted without effect. Secondly, in case of need—it cannot be de nied, that the plan proposed is a parliamentary remedy, and corres ponds with the conduct of patriots upon former occasions, when they conceived that the magnitude of the object in view warranted their making the most vigorous efforts to obtain it. Thirdly, it will not be difficult to demonstrate, that, whatever prejudice may be suffered from a temporary delay of other business, it will be Incalculably less than the evil, which will ivfallibly ensue upon the obnoxious measure in question being adopted ; an evil, Oa cEct of which cannot be confined to Scotland ague (for no component part of the empire can have sufferings, which do not extend to the others), but must reach England and Ireland also. When a limb of the human body is disjointed or broken, the whole frame must feel the effect of it. `• But to return to the opinion of my cautious friends, who be. lieved that the proportional number of the Scottish 31embers being so small, compared to those of England and Ireland. no good issue could be hoped from their exertions, however united, how. ever zealous. I reply, that their country is entitled to expect from them resistance in her behalf, not only while a spark of hope r . mains, but when that last spark is extinguished. There is no room for compromise or surrnder.

The letters from Ilamburgh received this morning are dated the loth instant. The only commercial intelligence is a slight improvement in the exchange with England. One inconsiderable failure had taken place,—a house con nected with a firm in London ; the latter had suspended payment some time ago. There seems to be a strong impression amongst many experienced and influential men in the City against the proposed plan for.the funding of Exchequer Bills at this particular period; and although we do not see what better course the Finance Minister, under the peculiar circum stances of the country, could adopt, we will give the reasons that were freely spoken of to-day in op position to it. It was stated, that, as far as the Ex chequer Bills in the hands of the public are con cerned, to fund them is to take out of circulation a quantity of commercial currency—paper, which in many instances performs the purposes of money. As far as the Exchequer Bills in the hands of the Bank arc concerned, to pay them off it will be necessary to withdraw for a time from circulation money itself. The opponents of this measure say it is not a tit time to divert the capital and at tention of monied men from advances for commercial pur poses, to which their interest would otherwise lead them. The. Government should not go into the market to borrow, at the moment when the difficulty of borrowing is already too much felt in the mercantile world. Whenever opera tions of finance—borrowing and funding, and the like—are conducted upon a large scale, the public, that is to say, the great body of tax-payers, represented by the Exchequer, suffer. It is difficult to get together sir millions for any such operation, and in proportion to the difficulty must, of course, be the premium or bonus to the contractors. The way, too, in which money is got together for a particular purpose by these persons, is by a forced sale of stock; so that, in the very operation of collecting the money, the Government annuities (the very commodities which the Government sell) fall in price. This occurred on the very first notice of the intention of funding. Hence the Government, which sells the perpetual annuities or " stock," loses upon the operation ; first by the low price to which the efforts of the contractors to collect money force that stock ; and secondly, by the premium which these contractors require for the command of an unusually large sum of money. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence left their residence at Bushy yesterday morning, and proceeded to the apart ment of the Duchess of Kent, at the King's Palace, Ken. sington, where the Duchess of Clarence alighted, on a visit to the Duchess of Kent. The Royal Duke proceeded to his residence in Charles -street, Berkeley-square. Prince Leopold honoured the Italian Opera House with his presence on Tuesday evening. Five Ladies were in the loft over the Muse of Commons on Monday night, to hear the Chancellor of the Exchequer bring forward the " Budget," namely, Lady Hardwicke and some young Ladies, Mrs. Franklantl Lewis, &c. The King has been pleased to appoint Robert Horaford, Esq. of the Middle Temple, to be his Majesty's Solicitor and Procurator-General for the Islands of Antigua and Montserrat. The Manchester Chamber of Commerce is empowered with the necessary authority, by the Governor and Com pany of the Bank of England, for assigning loans of money on goods or on personal security, in sums of 5001. to 10,000/. We understand that a meeting of the different mercan tile associations will be held this clay (Tuesday), to nomi nate the gentlemen to be appointed as Commissioners in this town by the Bauk of England, for the purpose of receiving applications and making loans on the deposit of goods, or on personal security.—Liverpool Advertiser. We understand that a meeting has been held in Bir mingham, for the purpose of establishing a Joint Stock Banking Company, with a capital of 300,000/. iu shares of 100/. each. The list already contains names to a very considerable amount. The object of the Company is to discount tradesmen's bills. They do not intend to issue any local paper. On Thursday last a public meeting was held at the police-office, Manchester, to consider the best means for relieving the prevailing distress amongst the working classes in that town, from the want of employment, when it was agreed to open a subscription. The contribution on I Friday night amounted to about Gnu/. Live II one, M A I:C I t.—We have experienced a steady demand for cotton, and prices may be said to be somewhat better; about :000 bags have been sold in the three days of this week, chiefly to the trade, and some in bond for ex port. The sales of cotton at this port in the last week were to a greater extent than in any preceding week since the commencement of the year, and the prices of new uplands have somewhat advanced. It is generally remarked that the prospects of trade are more encouraging than they have been for some time past. The priers of produce are low, and buyers, whether for consumption or on specula tion, run very little risk by purchasing. The demand, however, is far from being brisk, and until there is an im provement in the markets of consumption in the interior, we cannot expect ext-usive sales to he effected. The excel knee of our banking system, and the fact of our minor currency consisting entirely of gold and Bank of England paper, instead of local notes, have preserved us from many of those evils which have been so severely felt in other districts.—/ iverpoot Advertiser. It has been remarked as extraordinary, that notwith standing the repeated falls which have taken place in the price of teas at the India house sales, no proportionate re duction to the public has yet taken place at any of the great retail houses. MALTA, FEB. 13.—1 n grain there is much activity; the deposit is trifling, excepting in the hands of Govern ment. A good quality of soft wheat is to-day worth 20se. per Balm, or 335. per quarter, in bond. Prices will ad vance, as there does not appear a likelihood of any consi derable supplies from Egypt or the Black Sea ; and the' Barbary States arc mostly in want, instead of being able to export, as is generally the case. If prices of foreign wheat are low with you, some good may be done by ship ping a few cargoes from England or any of the northern ports that can furnish supplies. FISHING FOIL TR E ASV nr.—Accounts from Holland state that another attempt is to be made to fish up the treasure lost in the English frigate Lutine, on the coast of Holland ; but it is strongly suspected the industrious Dutchmen have not allowed the treasure to remain so long SHIPWR6fK.—On Monday week, the schooner John and Susan, from %Veils, Noifolk, laden with coals, pre sented herself off Scarbro' in apparent distress ; three coble men went to her assistance, got on board, and acted as pilots for some time ; when they were about making the last tack for the harbour, a tremendous squall laid her on her broadside, and in a monieut she went down. All hands got into the oohle with the exception of a man and a boy, and here the melancholy and heart-rending scene may be better imagined than described; the boy sunk to rise no more ; the man was seen swimming and endeavouring to get to his mates in the coble; the crew in the coble were equally anxious to save th, fellow -creature, but, alas ! all their efforts were in vain. Each party struggled until nature was exhausted, when the poor fellow was swal lowed up by the sea, and his mates with difficulty got on shore. There are at present .541 debtors in Lancaster Castle, of whom 130 intend taking the benefit of the Insolvent Act at the next Court.—Liverpool Advertiser. A desperate'attempt at robbery and murder was made in the evening of Tuesday week, between Wakefield and Hud dersfield, on two cattle dealers, Mr. R. Burras and Mr. E. Scholefield, who were on their way from Manchester to the fortnight fair at the former place. They were met by five men, two of whom dischar ge d pi sto l s at t h em; a b a ll passed through Mr. Scholetield's hat, and another glanced from a button on Mr. Burras's coat. Mr. Scholefleld's horse took fright, and ran off with him ' • but Mr. Burras, after a vigorous resistance , was ro bb e d of 1341. in cash and bills.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 16,1846. The accounts fromrorfn, given in the Flo;le of Tues day, admit that there was a naval action on the S 2 t Ja nosey, in the Gulf of Patras, u we have formerly stated ; that a Turkish frigate, corvette, and several fire-ships have been destroyed or captured ; and that the sally which the garrison of Missolonghi lately made had proved very de atroctive to the troops of IBRAHIM PACHA: but they state that the naval action was not general; they deny that Mis nolonght had been left open on the sea side, as four well armed frigates still maintained the blockade ; and they add that this unfortunate town, which holds MOOD refugees within its walls, is still, notwithstanding the exertions of the Corflotes and other inhabitants of the lonian Islands, entirely destitute of provisions, and likely soon to be re duced to the necessity of making some desperate attempt, front which fatal consequences are apprehended. The Commissioners sent by the Porte to treat with the inhabi tants of Milsolonglii have been unsuccessful in their nego tiations. It is said that the Government of Napoli di Romania has declared to Mr. STS•TFORD CANNING, that no pro posal for an accommodation will be accepted from the Porte, which has not for its basis the recognition of the independence of Greece. According to the accounts re °slud from the crew of the Turkish fire-ship captured by thu Greeks, the Ottoman fleet which guards the Gulf of Patru is itself in want of provisions. The Constitulionnel states, on the authority of the pri vate correspondence from Spain, that a new 'Proclamation, in the same style as those formerly mentioned, has just been seized by the police. This document is signed MawiNo. " It affirms distinctly that the unfortunate condition to which FERDINAND has reduced the coun try, renders his abdication its favour of his brother, lion CARLOb, indispensable, and advises him to re:ire to a country, the climate of which is likely to prove beneficial to his health—alluding no doubt to Rome, where his father C/I•RLIA VI. terminated his career. O'ffcial accounts from Valencia announce the appearance of three vess,ls off the port of Grao, forming a part of the expedition of Col. Be ZA N. The Government continues to despatch numerous bodies of troops towards Alic.int and Valencia, under the com mand of General Ins LTI:S. The towns in the province of Talavera have made some resistance to the taxes levied by Government for defraying the expenses of the projected expedition to the Havannah. Twenty of the Alcaldes, who had either openly espoused the cause of the Insur gents, or had firmly, but without violence, opposed the ex ecution of the decree in their jurisdictions, have been ar rested, and sent to prison in Toledo.

The freemen, and an immense number of other persons, were assembled at the Shire-hall. The Colonel stated his pretensions in a very able address, which was well received. The liberal policy of Ministers he praised ; and declared that the conduct of Mr. Peel and Mr. Canning deserved the approbation of every man, and that Mr. Canning had unchained this country from the chariot wheels of the Holy Alliance.—Bury and Noruirh Past, March 13. ON BANKING ESTABLISHMENTS. TO TILE EDITOR OF TUE BRITISH PRESS. St it,—National banks, having their capital in specie, and carrying discounts only to the extent of their capital, can never be profitable in such a country as this, where the inte rest of money is moderate ; because, after the regular ex penses and the occasional losses are met, a less return dna the current interest of the country will be obtainable on the capital employed. Individuals engaged in banking ts a trade look for a larger return than common interest, and partici investing in joint-stock banking concerns expect common interest at least. 2. Specie banks, retaining the precious metals in their coffers, and issuing notes as their representatives, will be alike unprofitable, because the only advantage gained ii general convenience, and some reduction of expense. 3. Specie banks, having agency or such like business, or being banks of deposit, will be profitable, provided the gain on the agencies, &c., or the interest on the dis. posable portion of th e d e p os i ts , cover t h e expenses and losses. Then the current interest will be obtained on the capitals of the banks. 4. Banks without real capital, and established upon the responsibility only of the proprietors, must necessarily issue notes, and will, if the issue be to the extent of the respon sible capital, obtain a small interest ; but which interest, as it is not for money advanced, may be a sufficient equiva lent for the responsibility. To obtain the current interest, an issue of bank engagements beyond the nominal capital is necessary, to such an extent that the profits of the surplus issue may cover the expenses and losses. .5. If such banks have deposits or agencies, the profits will be in proportion increased. 6. Banks combining the issue of notes upon credit with the employment of specie capitals, must put forth the former to an extent to meet all losses and expenses, and if they enjoy deposit and other advantageous banking busi nese, either common interest or more will be obtained. Thus, of these three species of banks, the specie, the deposit, and he cash and credit combined, the first class are never likely to be established in this country, not even as deposit or agency establishments. They would certainly be the most secure of all banks; but as it is ire vai n t o ex p ect t h at t h e currency of Great Britain can be wholly metallic, or formed of a paper representative of specie actually held by the banks issuing the paper, we •, ust be content to have part of our currency in paper not thus substantial, and not immediately convertible into specie. If the country require therefore a currency larger than the national coin and the traders' engagements to- gether will supply, and the Government think it wise not to fill the vacuum with Government notes, we must have our banking establishments framed upon such principles that a secure arid sufficient circulating medium shall be furnished upon their responsibility. The second class would be insecure both to the public and the proprietary, unless protected and r e strained by sufficient guards, -such as the publicity of their affairs, restrictions in respect to the extent of their issues, the pro hibition of small notes, so as to keep a certain portion of specie in the country, Ike. 'file nation itself might also be endangered by unrestrainedissues of paper money in dines of public commotion, and might be seriously hampered is its foreign proceedings when events made it necessary that a supply of bUllion should he obtained. The third class appears to me to he decidedly the most valuable and desirable, as they affbrd an active, vivifying, and secure circulation, provided they be under such re strictiona as are wholesome —restrictions which will keep their real or metallic capital entire and employed. But whilst, on the one hand, the public good ri quires that all descriptions of banks issuing paper money be subject to certain restrictions, so, on the other hand, their operations ought to be facilitated by certain protections. The public may, indeed, afford real protection by reposing confidence, nevertheless it is questionable whether legislative protec tion would not be more beneficial to all parties. Banks operating entirely upon credit cannot pay at all in specie if they be prohibited to issue small notes, and if not prohibited, they can only refund to the extent of the specie displaced by their notes. Neither can the banks of the mixed kind (the purely specie banks being out of the question) rash the whole of their notes upon dein:slid, or even refund the whole of their deposits at a moment's notice, seeing that the larger portion of the latter has been exchanged far mercantile hills, not at the instant available. When the circumstances of banks are publicly known, as are those of the Bank of France, there is little danger ef extraordinary calls upon any one for cash payment, so long as its solvency is apparent; but whilst the cir cumstances of hanks are kept secret, there is a necessity that they keep larger amounts of specie than is desirable for their own advantage or the public convenience. Let. there be always k e pt i n c i rcu l at i on suc h an amou nt o f specie as is thought desirable for the public utility, which can always be effected by the prohibition of notes under certain value, and then the holders of the notes Might safely, I apprehend, he expected and required to glee a short notice of demand for specie; and this would be jus t, as merchants' and traders' obligations, and not specie, are taken by the banks in exchange for their notes. Over issue, by sach a mode, would be effectually prevented, so far as the metallic currency would be concerned, or per haps in every respect ; as in the event of an extra demand , for speci e f or ex p ortat i on, a reduction in discounts wou ld be necessary to prevent a continuance of the run, and reinstate hank paper at its full value. I. V. March 11, 1626. Veaterday the ees latches for Bengal and China, by rho ship Lady Melville, Capt. Richard Cliffiwd, were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the purser of that ship. They must light till their hand to the broadsword is glued, They must tight against fortune with heart unsubdued. If they do so, not only will they play the part of hue men and worthy patriots, but they will procure that sort of weight with their constituents, which will enable them to be useful, and, with the blessing of God, effectual mediators, in what, I fear, is likely to prove a very distracted lime mod rewitry." This revolutionary outline is boldly drawn. Sir WA!. T Ea, it is manifest, anticipates nothing less from the abolition of Scotch notes than that 'it will be followed up by the slaughter, perhaps the utter extermination, of all his coun trymen ! Under this conviction, which no doubt is most sincere, we despair of recalling him to reason and loyalty. We have, however, some further observations to offer on this his second letter, but the space we have already occu pied obliges us fur the present to postpone them. CITY, WEDNESDAY Evcsixo.
