Mr. Alderman WArrumAN presented a petition from a Mr. Dixon Holmes, stating'that he was the proprietor of coalmines in thq West Riding of Yorkshire, which were very eligible for supplying the London market, and would'assist in defeating the monopoly of the great coal-proprietors. All that was necessary was the consßuction of a rail way, to facilitate the conveyance, and he prayed the a. , sistance of the Corporation in forwarding that object. The worthy Aldermal; in presenting the petition, went over the same lino'oft-argamentas he did at the lust Court, regarding the inpnopoly of the great coal-proprietors, and observed, that in stating the amount of tax which the monopoly had' created, he had on the former occasion,tinder4atedit . ; he stated it to be 400,0001. per anOurn, but. it was, in fact, 800,0001. _ 'Mr. TICKNER fully agreed with what had fallen from the worthy Alderman. He had received a communication from one of the coal-counties; which after alludinvo the crit4is of the coal owners, stated 4. that ie-teentevoisassselk.theoseinergy.of th© Corpo ration of London, of 'Pailiament, and the public at large, to counteract them." The letter went on to state that in 1793, the price of coals at Newcastle was Bs. 6d. per chaldron ; in 1828 it was ISs. 3d. a price raised and kept up by means of the combi nation of the coal-owners. About the latter end of the last year the coal-owners quarrelled, and on the Ist of January the combination was broken up, and every person was at liberty to supply the market with ghat quantity of coals he liked ; the conse quence was, that from IBs. 3d. coals fell to 13s. 3d., which Was a very fair and adequate price for the best coals : the colliers, who, during the combina tion, had been employed only about nine days in a fortnight, were then employed twelve days ; and the coal-ships, instead of waiting in the harbour three or four weeks for a loading, got loaded without delay. That state of trade was generally considered prosperous ; but the coal-owners found out that things did not thus work well, and they therefore forgot their differences. The combination was re newed, and the prices and quantities of coals to be supplied were fixed to the price of 16s. 3d., but which would shortly be advanced to 18s. 3d., the price of 1828. The letter continues—" The coal owners here (Newcastle) raise a great cry about the coal duty ; but when Lord Bexley took off 3s. per London chaldron, the coal-owners instantly advanced the price of coals to 25., so that the public gained but little by the reduction of duty." '1 he object of the great coal-owners was to get coals sold by weight, and excisemen to weigh them at the pit's mouth, which plan, if managed, will cause coal to be gene rally small and mixed with slates; and after they have passed the exciseman's hands, they will be well wetted for sale, over and over again, before they reach the consumer; it would be, therefore, well for the public to guard against any change or innovation respecting the mode of taking the duties. Speaking of the Clarence railway, the writer says, " It is a happy event that it is in progress, but still some time must elapse before the country can obtain any quantity of coals by it ; the coals will be found good end workable at moderate depths, and the speculation, both as to railway and collieries, will prove highly beneficial to all concerned." The writer, in a postscript, says, " The Walls Ends, namely, Stewart's, Lambton's and Hetton's, are nothing more than the round coals picked out from Eden Main, Primrose, and Lyon's Main, &c., and a small quantity of Stewart's, Lambton's, and Hetton's Walls Ends, and these establish their general price upon the cost of the latter. The hum bug of the above Walls Ends, as well as others as suming the same name, but of inferior quality, should be done away with, and then the London market might be supplied with Eden's, Primrose, and Lyon's, at a price justified by the cost price of them at the Coal-Exchange, which is always 3s. or 4s. below the price of the above-named Walls Ends. But a great evil of the coal trade in London is in the factors : the prices as stated in the Coal Lists are often agreed for and made—Lribes are not unfre quently given ; but all these were properly within the province of the public in London to controul." The petition preferred by Alderman Waithman was referred to the Coal and Corn Committee. MR. JAMES, THE NEW SECONDARY. Mr. BousFIELD rose to make a motion regarding the above gentleman. It would be seen, by the Law Reports in all the public papers of that day, that on the previous day there had been a trial in the Court of King's Bench, " Cotton v. James," in which 1501. damages had been given against Mr. James, for having maliciously caused an illegal com mission of bankruptcy to be sued out against Mr. Cotton. He moved that a Special Committee he appointed to inquire into the circumstances, and that in the mean time the Court of Aldermen be re spectfully requested not to swear in Mr James into the office of Secondary. After some desultory discussion, the latter part of the motion, namely, requesting the Court of Al dermen not to swear in Mr. James, was withdrawn, and the Special Committee of Inquiry was agreed to, w ith an understanding that they were to enter upon the subject immediately.

The Report of the Committee to inquire as to the expence of providing a site for the new church for St. Dunstan's, Fleet -street, upon the condition of the site upon which the present church stands being given up to the City for the improvement of Fleet street, was brought up. The amount required was 18,0001. The subject, after some observations, was referred to the Commissioners of Sewers.—The Court then adjourned. BRIGHTON, Nov. 4.—The various reports which have been for some time in circulation, relative to his MAJESTY'S visit to Brighton, left a doubt of the pro liability of honouring the place by hiiipresence this season ; that doubt is now removed ; from the best authority we are enabled to state the fact, that his MAJESTY has signified his intention of being in Brighton before the 10th inst. The first of the Italian Operas took place last night ; the house was filled with fashionable company. The perform ance gave general satisfaction. Lord GLENGA r.r. is amongst the late arrivals. The Committee of LLOYD'S having ascer tained that out of 15 colliers which were driven on shore near Sunderland during the gale on the 13th and 14th ult., three of them had previously cast out the whole of their ballast, and eleven had nearly all their ballast out, they have given notice, for the information of the Under writers, that it is the practice for colliers to cast out their ballast when within a short distance of their port of lad ing, by which they lose the power of carrying sail in the event of a gale, and the vessels and their crews are there by exposed to great hazard. DISCOVERY FOR THE LADIES.--A fo reigner in America has recently discovered a species of animal which is likely to become a great favourite among our female zoophilists, and may, perhaps, in future, banish the lap-dog from the drawing-room and the bed-chamber. It is a native of the Moesa, in the Popayan, called the Leonina. It is only eight inches in length, has a crest like a lion, and is of the colour of a fallow deer, with a white spot upon the nose. Although a quadruped, it has the singular accomplishment of whistling like a bird ; and probably this animal has the larynx in the form hitherto supposed to be peculiar to the aerial tribe; it is quiet and domesticated, and in gaiety and ac tivity resembles the monkey species, to which it probably belongs. ,obi: atlavi~ ARUNDEL MA RKET.—Nov. 3. 2s.

BoasEx HALM—Our quotations of Wheat are nearly the same as last week, hut the higher prices have been more readily obtained, in consequence of continual pur chases having been made for exportation. These obser vations, however, apply only to the best samples, those of inferior quality continuing as heavy as before. Our sup plies from the Upper and Lower Elbe have been trifling. Importation during the week, 574 lasts ; exportation, 346 lasts.—Rye continues firm in price, owing to the smallness of the supply.—Barley is but little in demand, so that prices may be looked upon as nominal.—Of Rape there is but little in the market, and prices are in conse quence firm. Several lots of Cakes from the interior were readily sold at from 60 to 61.—From the 17th to the 23d of October (inclusive), 59 cargoes of Corn passed the Sound ; 17 were bound for British, 13 for Dutch, and 25 for various northern ports; 1 was bound for Bre men, 1 for Leghorn, 1 for Havre de Grace, and of 1 the destination was unknown.

Within three day upwards of 1,500 casks of tallow have been sold ; the first quality fetched 98 to 99 rubles ; the second ditto, 95 to 96. The exportation of tallow to this day amounts to 144,000 casks.— Flax and hemp are both flat. The first quality of Cazen potash brought yesterday 89 rubles, and 86 are now demanded for the smali stock remaining on hand. The exportation of potash amounts to 14,700 casks. Linseed oil fetches six rubles 80 copecks per pud. Wheat and rye are rather flat ; 4,000 chetwerts of Kuban wheat have been sold at 19 rubles. Linseed is sought after ; 22 rubles have been offered for good qualities ; but, as last year's stock is insignificant, the holders keep aloof, and lie by fur a further improvement. AMERICAN MARKETS. The following expose of the state of the cotton trade ap pears to us to possess considerable interest : (Circular. ) Charleston, S. C. Sept. 1829. . Sir,—l take this early opportunity of giving you a view of our cotton market for the past season, as well as the prospect for the coming crop. The old crop is nearly exhausted, what little remains unsold is principally of inferior quality, and now selling at prices ranging from 7 to 9 cents; strictly prime is very scarce, and might bring 10 to 101 cents for small lots. The prospect as to prices for the coming crop at this moment is certainly not flattering, although the market was more steady in Europe, by the last accounts, than at any former period during the season. It can hardly, however, be expected, that the prices for the new crop will advance, as the consumption has not increased ; the stock of cotton in Europe is quite sufficient for the demand ; the last year's crop in the United States has increased near 200,000 bales over that of the preceding year. From this view of the subject, and a general belief that a full crop of Upland Cotton will be made this year in the United States, I can not flatter you with the hope of receiving for your present crop over 10 to 10 cents for strictly prime quality. I have observed for the last few years, that the early Fall Market is the best, as our northern factories want and must to vi an early supply of prime new Upland. Sea Island , . Uplands. Exports from New Orleans, 249,256 Mobile, 77,950 Savannah, 13,661 226,153 Charleston, 22,999 189,609 North Carolina and Virginia, 75,500 Total amount exported to date, 36,660 518,473 Stock remaining on hand. New Orleans auil Alah,itna, 10,000 Mobile, 2,500 Savannah, 788 3,800 Charleston, 1,821 2,750 obaYe quantity yet in the coil n try,5,000 6,600 Total amount of the crop of 1828 and 1829 44,269 844,123 From the above statement it appears that the United States alone furnishes 844,123 bales Upland cotton, ex clusive of 44,269 bales of Sea Islands; malting a total ex port of cotton of 888,392 bales. The whole consumption of cotton in Europe is estimated at 1,210,000 bales, including all descriptions—viz. Great Britain BOO,OOO France 230,000 Other European Ports 60,000 United States 1,210,000 It would appear from the statements, that the growth of Cotton in the United States alone is fully equal to three fourths of the consumption of Europe and 'the United States together ; add to this the supplies from the East Indies, Egypt, and other cotton countries, averaging at least one half of the above, and it will strike your mind at once that the stock will most generally, if not always, exceed the demand ; for the average stock in Europe for the last three years, to supply any accidents which might occur to the growing crops, exceeds 400,000 bales. This view, however discouraging to the planter, is nevertheless true, and requires the strictest economy to make both ends meet. We now begin to experience the effects of the tariff of 1828, and, unless it is repealed or altered, it will be felt with double the force this time twelve months. England is divided into Provinces, Canter bury and York, governed by the Archbishops ; and each Province is sub-divided into Dioceses, governed by the Bishops. When a man dies leaving all his property in one Diocese, the Bishop of that Diocese grants a Probate or Administration. If his property be in two Dioceses, then neither Bishop can grant Probate or Administration ; it must be done by the Archbishop of the Province in which those Dioceses are situate. But if a man die leaving property in the two Provinces of Canterbury and York—what happens then? why the two Archbishops are such great men, that they cannot tell which is the greater, and as neither will give way, the executors or next of kin must take out probate of the will or letters of administration in bo•h provinces. Snell is the law. Should it remain so ! Receipts given under a Canterbury Pro bate, or under administration for money due in York, or vice versa, have been considered void by some persons. A Probate granted by a Bishop is held void if all de ceased's property be not in that particular Bishop's Dio cese; and if this be so, acts done under it must conse quently be void. The interest of the public requires that the law in these respects should be altered ; and the inte rest of both Archbishops requires that any alteration should be made , most carefully. The Bishops cannot lose by any change in this respect. If a general law were made that no grant of Probate or Administration should he void on the ground of the want of jurisdiction, then there would be an end of the Archbishops' Courts ; the Bishops' Courts would always be resorted to, as the most handy for Executors or Administrators. The difficulty will, therefore, belt) make such an enactment as will pro tect the public interest and that •f the Archbishops.— Morning Paper. COURTS-MARTIAL IN JAMAICA.—Capt. GRAY, of the 33d Regiment, who was tried on the 7th of January, by a Court-martial held at Up Park Camp, Jamaica, and found guilty on a variety of charges, in con sideration of some circumstances put forward in extenua tion, has been reprimanded and pardoned. Lieut. Burt covNE, of the same Regiment, has also received his 'MA JESTY'S gracious pardon ; and Lieut. HORNSEY, of the same regiment, has been ordered to be " removed from the 53d Regiment, to such other corps as his MAJESTY shall please to direct." GENUINE ENGLISH FEELING AND NEWARK POLITENESS.—On Friday last some gentle men who bad been (lining together were returning home, one of them, either by accident or from being heavier in the head than in the heels, fell and rolled in the kennel. He called to a friend for assistance to raise him up : his friend came, but all his attempts were useless, when he exclaimed, " me, I can't get you out, but I'll not leave you, so I'll do the next best thing, I'll lie down by the side of you," which he actually did. AWFUL MORTAL' TY.—Diedot Rosehearty, during the month of September ltst, of the fa►nily of Mr. JOHN WIIMON, Peathill—on the 2d, ANNE, aged nine years; on the 7th, ALEXANDER, aged 17; on the 13th, WILLIAM, aged 11 ; on the 22d, JOHN, aged 22 ; and oa the 30th, Mrs. WILSON, aged •17. The disease that has proved so fatal in this family, says the Taunton Courier, was " putrid ulcerous sore throat," which has prevailed for some time in that neighbourhood, though not with an equal degree of malignancy. Mrs. WILSON had overcome the virulence of the distemper, but sunk under the successive bereavements of the affectionate mother. WEDDING EXTRAORDINARY.--JAMES BARNES, of Tillingham, on Sunday last entered into the happy state of wedlock• for the fourth time, having had by his former wives no less than fourteen children. The bride's name was ELIZABETH LAY, who had attained her 56th year, and their united ages amount to one hundred and forty-two. THE EFFECTS OF BAD EXAMPLE.-OH Thursday last, at a village not far from this town, a man and his wife were disagreeing ; although the quarrel began with words, it ended with blows. A gentleman going by interfered and requested him to desist from so unmanly an act. " What's that to you," replied the angry husband, "hare I not a right to do what I will with my own?"__ Newark Times. On Friday and Saturday last Sir JOHN AIAxwELL, of Pollock, had a field of nine acres of Swedish turnips lifted and secured into two pits, in excel lent condition. The crop was allowed by judges to ave rage 40 tons per acre. Some of the turnips are of un common size. Six of them weighed 5541 b., the largest 12 1 1 1 b. The whole, when weighed, were free from soil, and closely topped. EDINBURGH ► OCT. 31.-DEPRECIATION OF NZIVSPA PER PROPF.R.M.-..011 Saturday the copy rights, or right of publication of three periodical works in this city were exposed to sale by public auction, viz. of the Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle and Evening Post Newspapers, and Edinburgh Literary Gazette. They were first offered at the upset price of 1,7501. for the three, including printing materials, estimated to be worth less than 5001., but no offers were made. They were then tried apart at various reduced upset prices, beginning at 6001. for each of the Newspapers, and 100/. for the Gazette; but still there were no offers. They were then further tried at 400/. and 300/. successively without effect—and finally, at 150/. each (the Gazette being coupled with the Post), and were purchased without a single offer above the upset price, by the printer in the late establishment for their publication. The copyright of the Chronicle was bought a year ago at the cost of 750/. TRIAL BY JURY.—The Thirty-fifth Anni niversary of the acquittal of THOMAS HARDY was cele brated yesterday by a Dinner, at the Golden Lion, in West Smithfield. Mr. HARDY, who has attained a great age, but appears to enjoy a hearty state of health, was present, as we believe be has always been, at these com memorations of his triumph. Mr. litcwrEft also was present; he was one of those included in the number who would have been tried, but for the three successive acquit tals that entirely defeated the prosecutions. These two gen tlemen sat on etch side of the Chair. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR, the Common Councilman, was in the Chair. Per (!carter. ►llandford Cambridge. Chard Huntingdon Long Sutton...—.

The late Prussian Field Marshal, Count Neid hardt Von Gneisenau, Governor of Berlin, was the slit of an officer, and born at Schilda, in 1760. lie had the misfortune of losing both his parents when very young; he therefore was brought up by his grandmother, at Wurtzburg, where he soon manifested a strong inclination for the military career. From his eally youth he diligently applied himself to the studies relative to his future profes sion, without neglecting other sciences, such as na tural history, agriculture, &c. Having attained his 20th year, he entered the military service of the Margrave of Anspach as an officer, and went with the troops of this Prince to America, to assist the English in the vain attempt to recover their Ame rican colonies. Nine years after his return from the American war, when, in 1792, the Margraviate of Anspach was ceded to Pru , sia by the last Margrave Charles Alexander, Gneisenau entered the Prussian service. His regiment was quartered in Silesia. In the intervals of peace ke devoted his leisure to a more profound study of the military sciences, in which pursuit he was considerably assisted by the valuable library and excellent information of a neigh bouring nobleman. Gneisenau soon passed for the most learned officer of his regiment,—a reputation which he, however, lowered in some degree by jocosely observing that he was the only4e of his regiment who could resolve the problem Alf Pytha• Boras, known by the name of Magister Jiathereos. He married in 1796, and had by his lady, who, we - ! believe, survives him, seven children, the eldest of whom, a son, is an officer in the Prussian Foot Guards, and was Aide-de-camp to the Field Marshal. In 1802 Gneisenau obtained a company in one of the Fesileer battalions of the Silesian Light Brigade. i In 1806 he was made a Major, and in 1807 the King of Prussia sent him from Konigsberg, with the rank of a Lieutenant-Colonel, to take the command of Colberg, in the room of an old Colonel Loucado, who was incapable of defending this small fortress against the French. Gneisenaa, immediately on his arrival, took such vigo rous measures, and inspired his weak garrison, as well as the brave and patriotic inhabitants, with so much confidence and courage, that they not only withstood all the assaults and bombardments of the besiegers, but also made many successful sallies against them. Thus Colberg, through his exertions, was one of the few strong holds of Prussia which had not surrendered to the enemy before the peace of Tilsit. During the siege Gneisenau was promoted to the rank of Colonel. After the peace Tilsit he left the army, as it were, in disgust, and went to England.; but in reality he was sent thither on a secret diplomatic mission, from whence he returned to Berlin in 1810, when he was for some time employed in the administration. In 1813 he was appointed Major- General and Quartermaster-General, in which capacity he conducted that memorable • retreat of the combined Prussian and Russian forces from the field of battle of Lutzen to Breslau. The pursuing French had forty cannons taken from them, whilst the retreating army did not lose a single one. Dur ing the armistice, Geneisenau exerted his eminent abilities in the formation of the Prussian national militia, called the Landwehr. At the death of the celebrated General Scharnhorst, he was appointed chief of the Prussian staff; and after the armistice he remained with Blucher's army. The destruction of the French Marshal Macdonald's corps on the Katzbach, the crossing of the Elbe at Wartetiburg, and the glorious results of the battle of Mockern, near Leipzig, on the 16th of October, 1813, were mostly due to Gneisenau's able advice and great military talents. He was now raised to the rank of Lieutenant-General. In 1814, he greatly contributed to the victories of the Allies at Brienne and Paris, as he had done in the battle of Alontmirail. It was chiefly his opi nion which determined the bold march upon Paris. After the first treaty of Paris, the King of Prussia raised him to the dignity of a Count, appointed him General of Infantry, and gave hirn landed estates in Silesia, the rent-roll of which exceeded 10,000 dol lars a year. In 1815, it was Count Gneisenaul who, in a few hours, enabled the Prussian army, which had been defeated by the French near Ligny, to resume the offensive, and to advance to the assistance of the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo, with whom he, under Blucher's command, vigorously pursued the enemy up to the very gates of Paris, where he had a share in the diplomatic transactions that preceded Buonaparte's second abdication and flight. lie then was appointed Governor ofthe Prussian provinces on the Rhine ; but political circumstances induced him to resign this high office in 1816, and to solicit leave to retire for the benefit of his health. The King of Prussia allowed him to retire on full pay, and to re side wherever he liked, on the express condition, however, that his Majesty relied on his services in case of a war. Count Gneisenau repaired first to the celebrated bathing places of Bohemia, and then to his estate, Groszerdmarmsdorf, between Hirsch berg and Schmiedeberg, in Silesia. Here he conti nued a few years, at the end of which he was ap pointed a Prussian Field-Marshal, Governor of Ber lin, and Colonel of the militia regiment of Colberg, in commemoration of the eminent services which he had rendered to that town by his able defence. He occasionally resided at his estate, where he died lately in the 69th year of his age. To the various knowledge and accomplishments requisite for a Commander-in-Chief, which he pos sessed in the highest degree, Count Gneisenau added an admirably quick judgment of the military capa bilities of the ground on which he found himself with his troops, and an astonishing sagacity in ra pidly turning them to the best use. His presence of mind never failed him under the most disastrous reverses ; even when he resorted to measures bor dering on temerity, his orders and instructions were given with the utmost precision, propriety, and calm intrepidity. He never for a single moment seemed to labour under any embarassment in the midst of the most perplexing difficulties. His coup d'aUl on the field of battle was as prompt as perfect. But Count Gneisenau enhanced all these brilliant quali ties which constitute a great General, by his un affected modesty and the most interesting domestic virtues. The constant amiability of his disposition, and the cheerfulness of his social intercourse, gained him the love of all who approached him, in as great a degree as his military talents excited the general adm►ration of those who were able to discern his transcendent merits. The death of General DENTzEL, who suc ceeded General CHURCH in the command of the Greek army, has caused much lamentation. The remark made, that he died three days after dining with the Governor of Santa Maura, has given rise in this country to conjectures which we will not state here, but which it would be diffi cult to suppress elsewhere.--(Letter from Navarin, of the Bth October, in the Courier :Francais.) There is now living with " mine host" at Scarthing Moor, a post-boo, who has attained the age of 75 years, well known by the name of " Old lhionrs," or Old Roads," as brisk as a lad of 18. He has beep] on the road for 52 years, and during that time has never been prevented attending his Post. It is calculated he has rode upon an average, daily, 31 miles ; consequently, in that time, he has gone over 588,380 miles. In 1828, during the Doncaster race week, he in one day (24 hours) rode five times from Scarthing Moor to Barnby Moor, a dis tance of 13 miles, making altogether 130 miles.—Newark Times. At first sight the revolution which has taken place so quietly in the East does not seem to have really changed the political state of Europe One is apt to consider it as nothing but a war supported with different chances of success, and !erminated, as usual, ky an advantageous peace for the victor. We hear people speak of in demnities, as if Mahmoud's exhausted treasury could pal' them ;—of the possession of the in. vatted territory, as if it was to be returned ;—of the free commerce of the Black Sea, as if it was nothing but extension of a privilege to which all nations have a right ;—and finally, some will confound together the sovereignty de filet° with that suzeraniet6 de jure, which is the' expiring efforts of Turkey to preacrve its domination over Servia and the two principalities. And after all this, it will be asked, what change has taken place in Europe ? What is changed ? All. In the first place, there is a new distribution of parts amongst the different Powers. There is one nation which takes possession of the first rank, whilst all around it remains in statu quo. The delusion which existed about the omnipotence of one of the European cabinets, against whose will one would have thought it impossible to resolve a single question, has now entirely vanished. We have before our eyes the nullity of those Govern ments which followed its impulse in the treaty of Adrianople, after having uselessly endeavoured to avert the different clauses and stipulations by their petty negotiations. In fact, a most serious lesson has been given by Russia to the vaiti menaces of England, to the surly inactivity of Austria, and to the insincere conduct of France. A most inevitable revolution in the policy of Europe resultS from these different incidents. Every one 'knows - nos how- to rely on his own forces, and on those of his allies in case of a crisis in Europe. Russia has also learned that she wants the assistance of no one, and that she can herself accomplish all her plans and designs. Any general commotion (and God knows if we have been near one !) would now give the different Powers quite another direction to that they would have received a year ago. He who would then have thrown himself into the arms of Eng land, France, and Austria, would now run into those of Russia, because the weak always fly to the strong ; and certainly the general cause would be affected by this new impulse given to private ,interests. The preponderance of a nation is not only an enjoyment of pride ; it does not only give all Ambassador the right of precedency on his col leagues, and of signing higher or lower a proto col ; it exists also in the opinion which it gives of the strength of the nation : it prepares events, by showing to whom belongs the right of go verning them ; and this is not the meanest ele ment of its force to accomplish them. What a length of time will elapse before England will have again confidence in that flag . which has floated for a whole year alongside of a blockading squadron in the Mediterranean. Mr. Canning's toast to the men-of-war—to the floating citadels of England—would now be ridiculous ; and yet three years ago it made British hearts exult in triumph ! And, not withstanding that, there has been no naval battle lost, the ship-yards are as well stocked at present as at that period ; the seamen in 1829 are as good as those in 1827 ; the vessels have in creased rather than diminished in numbers. All this is very true, but from Sebastopol and Odessa on the Euxine, from Cronstadt and H iga on the Baltic, we have seen fleets obeying the orders o. one will, enveloping Europe and meeting toge ther in the Bosphorus. Nicholas has had to manceuvre his two squadrons under the windows of the Seraglio, whilst the English ships were carrying to Landon the despatches of Sir It. Gordon, or those of the Governor of tile lonian Islands ! What a prospect for futurity in such a spectacle ! Who thinks that Austria, who sees all thc nations that surround her recovering by degrees their freedom, does not also feel all the links of her political existence loosening and weakening on all sides? She has already for neighbours on the west, the Greeks, the Servians, the Wal lachians, and the Moldavians—ail free. At a few steps from Galicia, a people is recovering its po litical rights. The ports of Italy resound with the songs of liberty from Greece ! M. de Metternich had foreseen it, and has done all in his power to prevent this alarming resurrection. Yes, he has been able to effectuate nothing against it. This great Statesman was inclined to think that fortune would always favour mediocrity. What a lesson for the Minister and the nations at the same time ! Thus Austria also, without a sin gle battle lost, without any alienation of terri tory, descends to the second rank by the mere re-action of an event accomplished without her co-operation, reveals to Germany, by the ex ample of the Porte, the weakness of her protec tion, and even suffers, under the eves of Italy, that provinces should rise once more to the rank of nations ! Prussia, who since the commencement of h l o lc s i ti ap l i t i i ) e e s ar e had (ie shownvtl to wait the fori nost the e prudentresult of events a before shetook an active part in the negotia tions,—Prussia, who does not pretend to govern Europe, but only to preserve the rank she owes to her military position, will soon give a new character in her policy, which family connexions were not sufficient to produce. Fortune has passed to the north, and there is still a station in Europe by the side of Russia. Besides, when time and contingencies will have changed a momentary protection into a permanent pos session,—when the treaty of Adrianople shall have produced the necessary result of its stipula tions,—Prussia will then insist on the necessity of increasing a territory which is not adequate to her influence; and Russia will not object to an aggrandizement which will strengthen her ally, that she cannot fear as a rival. In regard to France, she will ♦iew all these revolutions in European hierarchy, without at tending to the opportunity which Providence had offered to her of re-ascending with dignity to that high station from which her Ministers en deavoured to keep her distant. And yet these same Ministers—mere caricatures of Metternich and Wellington—will come and present their incapacity for moderation, and their impotency for fidelity to engagements. Unhappily men pass, and faults remain. HArzwicit.—lf any thing more than has al ready been urged was required to show the necessity of prompt measures to save the land along this coast, nature herself seems to have supplied it—since we are informed by respectable mariners arrived here, that for some miles extent at sea off this pot t is seen floating materials, stakes, faggots, planks, &c., which have been torn from the sea walls and banks by the ravages of the late floods and galks Kent and Essex Ifferertry. y~ ROGERSON'S ALMANACK.
