AS Contractors, whose Establuihrn - inirslitTariy coeval with the commencement of Lotteries, we respectfully take leave of the Public with grateful acknowledgments for the patro nage we have experienced for more than a century ; and to remove any doubts that may exist as to the serious attentidn of his Ma jesty's Government to give up Lotteries, we feel it incumbent on us to stake the following declaration, viz.—that the present is positively and inevitably the Last Lottery that will be allowed in thi‘ Kingdom ; and we say this in the full acceptation of the word `6 Last," without any reservation whatever. AZARD and Co. In order to render the Lest of Lotteries as brilliant as possible, we have, as Contractors. jointly with our Coadjutors, formed &Scheme containing SIX PRIZES OF L 30,000! All to be Drawn in One Day, the kith of July; And we respectfully remind the Public, that in one Lottery we sold ALL the 30.0001. Prizes. and within these few weeks, THREE 20.000/. Prizes in One Day. ••• The price will be raised Twenty-four Shillings a Ticket, (Shares in roportion) on Monday, 29th in s t an t.

No. 1.70, a Prize of 21,0001., and 'also No. 3,923, a Prize of 21 9901. _ 'ln considering that the Lottery system has existed in this country 150 years, and Is the only mode of adventure by which an independent Fortune may be gained in a few (lays, for a very trifling Rink,—that it is very productive to the Revenue, yet quite voluntary en the part of the Public,—J. and J. Sivewright cannot but feel regret at the determination of Government to abolish die system ; but the Act of Parliament has passed for the expiration of Lotteries forever, at the conclusion of the present Farewell Scheme; which, in addition to all the approved attractions of late years, contains, for the first and only time . in this or any other country, the splendid novelty of SIX THIRTY THOUSANDS, ALL IN ONE DAY! From the demand already evinced, and the universal desire that Probably will arise, to court Fortune for Thirty Thousand Pounds, in this, hen but and only Lottery, It hi likely that Tickets and Shares will be very scarce, and must be much higher in price, as the drawing approaches. But J. and J. Sivearight being anxi;us to give the Public timely notice to make their purchases, pledge themselves that all who apply at their Offices in London, or to their Agents in the Country, on or before SATURDAY. 271 h THIS MONTH (Mal), shall be supplied with Tickets and Shares at the present Prices ; but on Monday, 29th this Month (May). the Price will be raised, at the least, Twenty-four Shillings a Ticket, and proportionate fur Shares.

AS a mild and effectual Remedy for all those Disorders which originate in a vitiated scion of the Liver and Biliary Organs, namely Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Head-ache, Heart burn, Flatulencies, Spasms, Costiveness, Affections of the Liver, &c. &c. DIXON'S ANTI BILIOUS PILLS (which do not contain Mercury in any shape) have met with more general ap proval than any other Medicine whatsoever. They unite every re commendation of mild operation with successful effect ; and require no restraint or confinement whatever during their use. In tro pical climates, where the consequences of redundant and viti ated bile are so prevalent and alarming, they are an invaluable and efficient protection. They are likewise peculiarly calculated to correct disorders arising from excesses of the table, to restore the tone of the stomach, and to remove most complaints occasioned by irregularity of the bowels.

A CHANCE in the PROPRIETARY of this Paper having recently taken place, it has been deemed necessary to announce this fact to the public ; and to add, that in consequence of new arrange ments, such an accession of talent has been obtained, as must, it is presumed, insure to this Journal a very considerable in crease of that patronage which it has hitherto enjoyed. With regard to Politics, the object of the NEW PROPRIETORS is constitutionally and consistently to support those liberal prin ciples which have hitherto influenced the conduct of his Ma jesty's Government. and which have tended so essentially to in crease the splendor of the British Empire. The venerated Ecclesiastical Establishment of these Realms will, at the same time, be firmly upheld in this Journal, and its inte rests strenuously advocated. The NEW PROPRIETORS also pledge themselves, that the Parliamentary, Legal, and Pollee Reports, shall be correct and ample; the Literary Contributions classical and select; and its Miscellaneous Intelligence early and authentic.

Last night we received Paris Papers of Sunday ; no Papers were published .in that metropolis on Whit-Mon day, it being held as a solemn fast. It appears, from the discussion in the Chamber of De puties, on Saturday, that the French agriculturists are as anxious as our own for protecting duties against the im portation of foreign corn. [ From the Journal des Debats.] The journey of the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and that of the Count of Capo d'lstria, must give rise to many conjectures. The arrival of these two personages is wertalnly not the result of chance; it n.uit have an object; time will show it. [ From the Courrier Francais.] The Duchess de Floridia, who married, with the left hand, the late King of Nuples, died on the 26th April, in consequence of an inflammatory cholic."

The Sultan caused a firman to be published on the 9th of April, exhorting the Mussuimana regularly to observe the duties of their religion, now Hamadan has .begun. He went with great pomp to the Mosque, which he has just erected, and which has received the name of Mahmnud. The introduction of the Nizam Gedid (European exercise) is again talked of. Every body has seen the success which the Egyptians have had by this means, but this innovation does not extend to the nary. The Janissaries will also preserve their pri. vileges. Mehemet Ali Pacha has caused a picture of the situation of Egypt to be presented to the Porte, which encourages little hope that he will act with vigour in the course of the ensuing cam paign. The scarcity of bread occasioned yesterday some dis orders in various parts of the capital. We hope they will prove but momentary, seeing how abundant corn is throughout all Europe. It is only in Asia Minor that the last harvest has failed. ODESSA, APRII. 22. A Firman of the Porte has arrived at Jassy and Bucharest, which enjoins the authorities to provision the fortresses situated on the Danube for six months. The llmpodar Gyka has already given the necessary orders. The giving up of the two principalities is not so easy for the Porte as it may appear. Greece no longer con tributes, as is well known, to the exigencies of the State ; it even causes the Sultan a great expense to carry on the war. The Porte then finds itself obliged to lay the heavier hurthens on other pro. winces, and especially on those which arc peopled by Christians. It Is said that he had drawn from the two principalities, in the course of three years, a sum exceeding 37 millions over and above the ordinary taxes. The Ilospodars, to maintain themselves in their situations, surpass even themselves in all sorts of exactions. If the Porte evacuates the principalities, anti restores to them their ancient privileges, those exactions must cease at once, and the Turkish Government will then not know how to carry on the war. The Austrian Observer or the 4th May states, that the Greek National Assembly is to be held forthwith at Piada. It asserts also, as in the account we formerly extracted from the Etude, that it is the wish of the Greeks to obtain a monarchical form of govern ment. Vasso Braicowieh, after levying contributions in the Islands of 'Lea, Syra, Perm, and Naxos, made • descent lately in Syra, surprised and plundered Beirout, and put a part of the Turkish po pulation to the sword. • The remarks made in the late discussion in the Chamber of Deputies are not the only proofs which have lately been afforded of the attention paid by the French Government to the improvement of agriculture on the other side of the Channel. The King of FRANce has given orders to pur chase the estate of Gut° N 0 X, for about a million of francs, and to add it to the crown lands. It is to be placed at the disposal of a Society of Shareholders, who propose to cul tivate it by the best methods, and to receive in it 300 pupils, who are to be taught the theory and practice of agriculture, gardening, farming, and the art of making the most adVantageous use of the produce of industry in manu factures. The shares are I,YOO francs each, and the Society is formed for forty years. The KING takes •toli shares, and leaves the profits on them with the establishment, to be applied to such purposes as may be deemed advantageous to it, and also to diminish the fees re quired from the pupils. Another establishment has been formed for the cultivation of the mulberry-tree and the breeding of silk-worms. A farm in the domain of Ms genie, near Corbeil, has been purchased, to renew the ex periments which were successful in the departments of Jura and Allier, by which it is proved that the silk-worm may be successfully reared in the more northern depart ments. A third establishment has been formed for im proving their wool at Chaillot. A flock of English sheep has been purchased, and in this company also the KING has taken 250 shares of 1000 francs each. The DAU rift N is, next to the KING, the principal shareholder in these establishments. The following is an extract of a letter from Madrid, dated the Ist of May:—" The misery in the interior of this country increases every day, and our wool, which forms one of the principal sources of our riches, is in so little demand, that the Council of the Mesta (for the improve ment of wool) has petitioned the KING to suppress the taxes on the sheep, which, though inconsiderable, are sufficient to disable the proprietors from keeping up their flocks, in consequence of the surprising fall in the price of wool." A short time must elapse before we can obtain the parti cular detail of the successes which led to the termination, so glorious to the British arms, of our long and desperate war with the Burmese. Brigadier-General Sir W. COT TON, as senior officer of the detachment of the Madra s army serving under the command of Major-General Sir ARCHIBALD CAMrnELL, was the officer upon whom it de volved to communicate to the Government of Madras the terms of the peace concluded with the King of Ara. It is to the Governor-General and Council of Bengal that Sir ARCHIBALD will transmit his despatches, containing the full particulars of his operations in the different attacks upon the enemy ; and as the troops were under his own immediate orders, the details cannot fail to add new lustre to his fame. The lamented death of Major-General Sir C. Tuanea, late Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Sierra Leone and its dependencies, appears, by the Gazette of last night, to have been occasioned by his ardent zeal in the suppres sion of the infamous traffic in human flesh, carried on merely because there is something of colouring matter in or about the skin, which is supposed to make a distinction be tween the intellectual powers of a black man and a white. No doubt, he-vever, the death of this valuable public officer and excellent private gentleman, was hastened by the noxious climate to which he was exposed. It appears, from his last despatches, that he had undertaken an expe dition into the Sherbro' country, with the view of perfect ing the arrangements which he had commenced with the native chiefs, for the abolition of the slave trade. The force and quality of this expedition,—if, indeed, such it may he called,—will be better judged of by a reference to the despatch itself. We will here just remark that he left only six regimental officers and 500 men at Sierra Leone; and Capt. ROSE, his Aid-dc-Camp, having died just before, he had but one Lieutenant, one Staff-Surgeon, two Members of the Council, fifty Europeans, and forty natives, to accompany him on his expedition. Gentral TURNER, even with this small force, was determined to proceed against those mis creants, who had formed to themselves a settlement, which they had called Sierra Leone, no doubt with the view of imposing, by that name, on the ignorant native chiefs of the interior, and of inducing them to continue the detes table traffic, as cor.ceiving it sanctioned by the British power in Africa. In his progress, however, to the scene of action, he fortunately fell in with the Leven frigate, Cap tain OWEN, having under his command the Albatross schooner, that officer being then employed in a survey of the rivers on the coast. From Captain OWEN Sir C. TURNER immediately received the most prompt assistance, and in a short titne destroyed two receptacles of wretches, whose utter worthlessness we will not trust ourselves to describe, but shall content ourselves with laying before our readers the exact terms in which the late humane and gallant officer chose to speak of them in his last despatch. " On my arrival in the Sherbro," says he, " I discovered that the great slave dealers who hal retired from the Sher bro' and Sea Bar, on signing the Convention prohibiting the exportation of slaves, had joined with those of the Gallinat, and had come to the resolution of re-establishing the slave trade Ly force, even in the districts where it had been voluntarily given up by the native chiefs, and were there assembled in force, up the Boom river, seizing our people, and putting at defiance our power and our rights. These slave-dealers are all mulattoes. deseenthintr of Europeans, strangers to the soil, and, I griece to say, men generally educated in England.' Their education gives them great superiority, and their wealth potter." Deeply as we are sure all true friends to humanity will lament the loss of this excellent officer, it is a great conso lation to know that lie died in consequence of his exertions to secure liberty and happiness to his fellow-men. We cannot close this imperfect tribute to his memory better than by giving another extract from his last despatch. After detailing the destruction of the two strong holds of the slave dealers, General TURNER proceeds thus : " Not being able to learn that they had any other place up the river, and as they were thus driven out of our ter ritories, defeated and disgraced, with the loss of their towns and stores, I determined to proceed no further, and, after carrying away the guns and stores, and destroying by fire the town and neighbouring village, we embarked, and got safely to the shipping in the Sherbro', on the 23d, after destroying the two principal strong holds, with eight smaller towns, where these wretches kept their victims in chains until the ships were ready to receive them ; and I sincerely trust that this lesson will teach the deluded of the country not to put further faith in the vain boast ings of these wicked people, who, by administering to the worst :passions of the ignorant and unfortunate in habitants, not only depopulate and turn into deserts the most fertile plains which I have ever seen, but so blunt their feelings and brutalize their natures, that for a few bottles of rum and heads of tobacco, the parent is found, without remorse, casting away his offspring. Each village it engaged against the other, for the purpose of making prisoners; and men, like beasts of prey, are ever on the watch to seize their neighbours and their fellow-men. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. The few bargains that were reported in Consols this morning were done at a declining price in t e early part of the day, 781; and although they afterwards talliat , the nearest cpwtation being still the appearance of the market was heavy. The principal variation in foreign Securities was in Gre:k Bonds, which declined to 13} 11, in corsequence of the intelligence of the fall of Missolonghi. It was matter of surprise to many job bers that these Bonds were not more affected by this news, so die. 'strong, if not fatal, to the Greek cause; but the fact is, it had been long anticipated, and the price ha.l consequently been before depressed. South American Securities excited little interest, Mexican 6 per Cents. remaining steady at 824 31; Colombian Bonds at 424 3, and Peruvian ditto 32. Russian bonds were 74 6, and Spanish 8, sellers. Corn appears to be recovering from the depression temporarily produced by the measures proposed by 31inisters. The continuance of cold weather will more than outweigh the apprehended dime. tionary power. 01. •••*. • 14 FROM THE COURT NEWSMAN. Yesterday morning the Duke of Clarence and the Princess Sophia visited the King. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence, attended by their suite, left the Burlington Hotel yesterday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, in two carriages and four, with out. riders, on their return to their residence at Bu shy. The Princess Sophia visited the Duke of York yestm, day, at his house in South Audley-street. l'rince Leopold left town yesterday morning, for his seat at Claremont. On Monday the Duke of Clarence dined with the Princess Augusta. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and a numerous party dined with Earl and Countess Bathurst on Nl ,, ndav, at their house in Stanhope-street. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Duke of York went to his Office in the Horse Guards, and soon afte r commenced holding a Levee, which was attetided by tbe following:—Viscount Valletort, Viscount Ennistnore, Lord Itadetock, Lord Arthur Hill; Generals Lord Lynedoei and Calcraft ; Lieutenant-Generals Sir John Lambert, Sir IVm. Hutchinson, Sir Augustine Fitzgerald, Sir Francis de Rottenberg, Sir Gordon Drummond, Conran, Durham; Major-Generals Sir Niel Campbell, Sir John Cameros, Huskisson, Herbert, Vincent, Stuart, Grant, .Monday; Rear-Admiral Digll, Vice-Admiral Sir It. King, si r James Anderson, Sir John Harvey, Sir Thomas Hay, and about sixty other officers. Viscount Alelville transacted business at the Colonial Office yesterday. Mr. Waring, the King's Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office, in Downing -street, on Monday evening, with despatches from Viscount Strangford, our A mht mvidor at St. Petersburgh. The dissolution of Parliament will take place a day or two earlier than had been determined upon. It is now fixed for the 27th instant.—S” n. The amount of duty paid to Government by Ave of the principal calico-printers in Lancashire, for the six weeks ending the 94th of April, 1523, was 19,355/.; and fur the same period in 1626, 12,0961. making a deficiency of 7,2.7,9 L EI,I*CATION TN GERMANY.—The population of Ger. many is estimated at about 36 millions : for the educaticn of these 22 Universities are provided, which contain 1;,7:6 students, with 1,01,5 professors. EIWCATION tN Itussr.s.—The Russian empire con tains at present six universities, viz., Moscow, Petersbnreh, Cat-an, Durpat, Vilna, and Czarkow. Russian subjects are not permitted to study abroad till they have been three years in the higher schools of the empire. Several derartincsits of study prohibited entirely, and those which arc allowed ate placed under a very strict cen sorship. The students arc organised completely in the military style, are obliged constantly to appear in a uni. fcrtn, and superintended very strictly. _ _ SocuTy nt• ARTS.—The Committee of this Society have resolved to recommend a reward of five guineas to an °prat ire weaver of Spinach's, for a specimen of rivet exhibited by him, producing the pattern equaily perfect on both sides. The specimen is beautiful, and it is only on account of the small quantity produced that so small a reward was given. The candidate's name is Waite. Fl NE AMTS.—We perceive that Mr. Phillips has a ale this week, at his rooms, in New Bond-street, of a great number of pictures, by the most eminent Dutch and Fir. mish masters. Among these are some celebrated pictures, we understand, by Ruben! ' Rembrandt, Tcniers, NVott• vermans, Ostade, &c. & c. &c. This rare collection was made by the Count Pertales, during a long period of thirty years, and has been enriched from some of the most splen did cabinets of pictures in Europe. A pamphlet has been published, by a Greek of the name of Mynos, entitled " An Appeal to the Nations of Europe in behalf of the Greeks." The author answers the charges brought against his countrymen, of repelling foreign assts. tance and showing ingratitude to their foreign benefactors. Some German, French, and other adventurers, who hail enlisted under the Greek standard, had consulted only their own interests in their crusade against the Turks, and when they failed in attaining the objects of their ambition or then - selfishness, turned round to calumniate the people whom they came to support, and joined the oppressors whom they came to oppose. Such, according to him, is the origin of many of the calumnies now propagated against the Greeks and their cause. The author proceeds to answer other charges brought against his countrymen, namely—that they are robbers, that they have no desire for regulated freedom, and that they are anxious to put themselves under the protection of England; and con cludes by an eloquent invocation of assistance from the Christian Powers of Europe. The pamphlet is published both in Greek and French. A letter from Liverpool, dated Monday evening, says, William Cobbett, Esq. and Sir Thomas Beevor, Bart. were entered upon the books at the Exchange News-room here this day. We understand that they, together with young Mr. Cobbett, set off this afternoon for Preston ; and four oilier gentlemen set off from the King's Arms Hotel, in an open barouche end four horses, immediately after, for PrLston, where Mr. Cobbett is to commence canvassieg the burgesses of that borough, for a seat in Parliament at the mit general election. We understand that the beautiful steam packet George IV. belonging to the Liverpool mid Newry Steam Navigation Company, will be launch:el from Messrs. HeS• seldin's yard, west side of the Salthouse Dock, on Monday next. She is of the first class, and intended to ply between this port and Newry, impelled by Mr. Fawcett's engines, cf one hundred and thirty horse-power.—Lieer pool Albion. CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—The brig Medusa, Captain Aspelt, of Jersey, while on the passage from La Guayra to Liverpool, lost a portion of her spars and sails in a thunder stn.rn, in lat. 33. 38. long. SS. 12, during which the electric fl rid destroy( d the magnetic power of the compasses on boird, two of which were on deck, and two in the cabin. Mr. C. Jmes, optician, has examined the campuses, and finds they have entirely lost their attractive powers. A very useful improvement is now making by the COnt. missioners of Sewers for the City of London, in widening the west end of Lombard -street, which gives the public, for the first time, a front view of the church of St. Mary IVO I• troth, which was built by Richard Hauksmoor, the eccen tric pupil of Sir Christopher Wren, in 1719. It was called Woolnoth, from its being near the wool-market. How far the Commissioners mean to keep the front of this beautiful edifice open is as yet undetermined; but the citizen , of London, who pay for this itnprovement, should take care not to have all the ground sold as at present marked out, as that would contract the public entrance to the church and street to the old width of ten or twelve feet, and be the means of preventing any future improvements in the rear, by a more open communication to St. Swithin's an d Sherborne lanes. This has long been a most dangerous corner for foot-passengers, particularly in the winter season. The inhabitants of Lan g bourn Ward have subscribed 2,5001. to the improvement of this street. would The following has been communicated es a correct state ment of the military force assembled before liburtpore, under the command of Lord Combermere. It will be seen that the artillery is very efficient. PIECES or ORDNANCE.-74 mortars; 10 eglit-inch horn sera; 30 Iron guns , eighteen and twenty-four pounders—Total , 114.
