lONIAN ISLANDS. Extract of a Leiter from Corfu, dated August O. We learn from Milan that Sir THOMAS MAIT.. TA ND. who left Corti' in June last, for a tour in Ir;d v , has proceeded to England. This sudden Oereiln;nation has given birth to various conjec ture• among our Politicians. It his Excellency returns at all to this country, an event which is very much doubted, it is pro bable, from the present posture of affairs, that bis abence will not be of long duration. It is conjectured, that on his return be will, as a compliment to the Senate, bring with him the grand decoration in brilliants of the Order of St. George and St. Michael, for which an indefinite sum was voted last year, by that body, on. the pit ()position of Baron Theotoky, whom Sir Thomas Maitland had appointed President, with the title of Highness, conferring on him the Grand Cross of the Order. The splendid structures now forming at this place give a great stimulus to the Arts. A com pany of sappers and miners, who were ordered borne to be disbanded, have been retained, and are occupied in building the new residence of the Lord High Commissioner. All the bricklayers and masons belonging to the various regiments in the garrison at Malta and the lonian islands have been ordered hither for the same purpose. ' The crop of currants has been abundant, and of a good quality, and that of wines and olives pro mises fair, RESOLUTION OF THE lONIAN SENATR, SEPT. 30, 1813. . . . . . In a speech to the Senate, the President. after having ex tolled in the highest terms the viruses of Sir T. Maitland, and his numerous claims upon the gratitude of the people of the lonian Islands, for his unrennitted and paternal care in rais ing them to the highest degree of glory, power, and opulence, of which their country is susceraible, proceeds to say— "-It is only its this single point of view (for I reserve in my own breast the respectful sentiments which unalterably attach me, as an individual, to General Maitland), that I propose fur your sanction the project of resolution which I sl►all now order to be read to you. " From motives of the profoundest gratitude on five part of the lonian People, " Resolved, t. That the Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George, which is to decorate Sir Thomas Maitland, Lord Commissioner of his Majesty the Sovereign Protector of these States, in his quality of Grand Master of the said very distinguished Order, shall be set with brilliants; and the 'accessory decorations, as well as the clasp, shall have the same en►tbellishments, the first in the form of a radiant star, and the Tatterin that of two bees. " 3. That a Deputation of the Executive Power of awe States shall, on the arrival of his Excellency, be charger/ to request that he will be graciously pleased to accept of this slight pledge of the gratitude of the lonian People. " 3. That the Secretary for the General Department, and the General Treasurer, Mewer, Esq. or Mr. John Cartwright, his delegate) shall he charged with the execution of this resolution, each in so far as concerns his department. "Approved, " FREDERICK ADAM, Lord High Commissioner pro temport. " FREDERICK HANKEY, " Baron Theotoky. Private Secretary. s , Sidney G. Osborne, Secretary of the • Senate for the Ganeral Department." THE YELLOW FEVER. Letters from Gibraltar inclose the following instrument, issued by General DON, prohibiting all communication by sea or land with the Isla de Leon : PROCLAMATION. By his Excellency General George Don, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Garrison and Territory of Gibraltar, &c. By a Proclamation which has been issued by his Excellency Lient.-General O'Donnell, command ing in !he neighbouring districts, it appears that the yellow fever, or epidemia, undoubtedly pre vails to an alarming degree in the Isla de Leon ; but that a cordnn of troops had been established there, in the hope of preventing its further ex tension. His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, de sirous of ensuring the safety of the public health of ►his Garrison, and at the same time anxious to avoid those measures of extreme restriction,which, by interfering with the channels of industry, or creating impediments to the free access of sup plies, occasion poverty, detective nourishment, and eventually disease, or a pre-disposition there to, directs that the following regulations for the maintenance of the Midcourse with► Spain be ob served : I. All communications with the Isla de Leon, by sea or land, is hereby prohibited ; and all per sons coining from thence, or from any parts within the said Cordon or Cordons, or front any town or village infected with the Epidemia, and who shall introduce themselves clandestinely into this t rritory, shall be subject to the utmost ri; gour of the law. 2. No person Corning from the terr itory of Spain shall be permitted to enter the garrison by land, except such as reside in this neighbourhood, arid who are personally known to the Police. 3. Persons comiti.: by sea shall be rrceived af ter a performance of the quarantine established, as to the respective places from whence they may arrive, except they come from the Isla, or places actually infected. Vessels tram thence will not be admitted without passing through the foul La zlretto. 4. A register of such residents as his Excel lency the lieutenant Governor deetns may with safety be permitted to pass out, and return into this garrison by land, will be kept by the Inspec tor of Strangers at the Cordon, and none not mentioned therein shall be suffered to pass. The Inspectors of Strangers are instructed not to allow an y one, unless duly authorized, to examine this register and the Officer of the Guard stationer! ' wa r the Inspector's post is directed to give him such support as he may require in the execution of his duty. Persons whose names may not be so registered, but who may have - urgent business in Spain, must address an application, stating the rronndi of their desire to pass the Cordon, to the Town Ma jor, which, on being forwarded by hint to the Lieutenant-Governor, will be duly considered. A Cordon of troops is established across the Isthmus of the territory, and an additional In spector of Strangers stationed at the entrance of the villa,e. ll persons are hereby warned not to attempt tri ,pass the Cordon at any other point than where he Inspector is stationed, as the sen tries ire directed to fire upon any one persisting in ...melt attempt after notice.

COURTS-MARTIAL. Horse. Guards, Sept. 6, 18190. At a General Court-Martial held at Corfu, on the 31st May, 1819, and continued by adj.,uns merits to the 2d June following, Major Thomas Buck, of the Bth (or King',) Regiment of Foot, was arraigned upon the undermentioned Charge, vl2. " For Conduct most untuilitary and subversive of all Dis cipline and good Order, in the following instanees,•viz. st. " For making use of insulting language to the Offi errs of the Bth (or King's) Regiment of Fore!, at large, at the Mess at Malta, in or about the month s f May last, as follows— • " That be would be damned if ever he sat 4 the Mess Table again, or words to a similar insulting effect ; and then withdrawing himself from the Mess. 2d. " For refusing; subsequently to' using • such expres sions, and so conducting biraseff, to retract what he had said, when requested so to do by Lieutenant-Colonel Ro berton. 3d. " For delivering a message to Lieutenant-Colonel Ro berton, to be carried to the Officers of the Bth (or King's) Regiment of Foot, to the following purport, amountinv.a a Challenge—' that if any persons thought themselves ag grieved at what he, Major Buck, had said, he would grant them satisfaction,' and which message Lieutenant-Colonel Roberton did immediately, ur shortly afterwards, deliver to the said Officers." Upon which charge the Court came to the fol lowing decision : " The Court haying- investigated the Charge preferred against the prisoner Major Thomas Buck, of the Bth (or King's) Regiment, and having under its consideration the whole of the evidence offered on this trial, as well in sup port of the prosecution, as on the behalf of the prisoner, declares its opinion that, in respect to the first instance, the prisoner is Guilty of the Charge as specified in the said first instance. " In respect of the second instance, the prisoner is Guilty of the Charge, as specified in the said second instance. " In respect to the third instance, the prisoner is Not. Guilty of the Charge, as specified in the said third instance : inasmuch as the evidence does not sufficiently prove that Lieutenant-Colonel Roberton was actually authorized by Ma jor Buck to carry the challenge, which he did carry, to the Officers of the Regiment, although it is clear that Major Buck made use of the language as stated in the third instance of the Charge. " The Court in consequence of the above opinion and find ing, does sentence the prisoner Major Thomas Buck, of the Bth (or King's) Regiment of Foot,. to be placed at theloot of the List of the Majors of his Majesty's Army, and further to he publicly and severely reprimanded, at such time and place as may he directed. " The Court having delivered its opinion and sentence, deem A its ditty to animadvert upon a part of the evidence of Brevet Major Campbell given on the defence, as regarding , the 'Third instance of the Charge. " And the Court cannot refrain from remarking, as well on the spirit which evidently appears to • have actuated the witness, as on the answers themselves which are most extra ordinary, inasmuch as it must have been evident to the wit ness, that the message which he himself sent, could not, by any possibility, have been in consequence of the comuninica tion made by Lieut.-Colonel Roberton; as that communica tion was,within the witness's awn knowledge, made on the day subsequent to that on which be seat the message which be relates in his evidence." His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been pleased, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court ; and as Major Buck has.been promoted according to his standing in the General Brevet lately published, and previous to this sentence being made known, the same will be cancelled in order to the fulfilment thereof. His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief directs, that the foregoing Charge exhibited against Major Thomas Buck, of the Bth (or king's) Regiment of Foot, together with the finding and sentence of the Court, and the Prince Regent's pleasure.thereon, shall be entered in . the General Order Book, and read at the head of every Regiment in his Majesty's service.

SUICIDE.— Sunday evening a man of very re spectable appearance was observed walking back wards anti forwards, in a very melancholy man ner, by the side of the Grand Junction Canal, anti at length he plunged into the water ; a per son who witnessed the transaction immediately hastened to the nearest house, and made an alarm ; assistance was procured and the body was draggtd tor, but was tint found until yesterday morning, when it was taken out of the water and carried to a neighboutiug public-house for a Coroner's Inquest. GLASGOW AND PAISLEY REFORMERS: [FROM THE GLASGOW COURIER, SEPT. )6.1 We are happy to say, that all is now tranquil in Glasgow and Paisley ; but it has not yet been deemed proper to relax any of the precautionary measures formerly adopted for the preservation of the public peace. We understand that there is a probability of some of the instigators of the late outrages being discovered. It remains to be seen whether the laws of'this country are sufficient to render these incendiaries an ample punishment. /a the riots of Monday night, about thirty dif ferent houses in the Barony of Gorbals had panes of glass broken, besides other damage done to them ; among o4hers, that of the Rev. Dr. iN/P Lean, Minister of the Parish ; Mr. M 4 Alpine, Sturgeon ; the Methodist Meeting-house, &c. We learn that the gold watch which was taken from the person of Mi. Burns, of Gateside, on Saturday, the 4th instant, and which was sup posed to have been so taken by a party of the Radicals on their return from the Meetings at Meikleriggs Muir, has been recovered, but the chain and seals are still wanting. The manner it was recovered was as follows :—A man, not of had appearance, called at a watchmaker's shop in this city, showed the watch, and inquired what might be its value. The watchmaker having heard of the robbery, detained it, and the Radical walked off. We observe, from the Subscription Paper in the Coffee-room, that the Convener has subscrib ed One Hundred Guineas, an behalf of the Trade's House, for the relief of the distressed Weavers. —We hope the different Corporations of this City will come liberally forward for so laudable a purpose. _ Last night, about )2 o'clock, James Neilson, an old offender, was apprehended in the Gallow gate, by Fraser and Cameron, Police criminal of fice:3, and lodged in tike Police office. In Isis bat was found a valuable black lace square. Early this morning, the said officers apprehend ed John Elliott, Daniel Boyle, and Alexander Ran kin, all old offenders. Elliott is charged with knocking down a Police officer, and rescuing a prisoner. The other two were under sentence of banishment. Rankin has been nine times in Bridewell. PAISLEY, SEPT. IC. A Meeting of the Deputy. Lieutenants of the County was held here uu Tuesday forenoon, when they came to the following Resolution : Resolved—That the Lieutenancy approve of the active measures taken by the Sheriff of the County and Magistrates of Paisley, to put a stop to the outrageous proceedings of the mot', which have occurred here since Saturday last ; and they offer their thanks to them for their activ►ty in suppressing the tumults, and for their temperate conduct in preventing the effusion of blood. The Lieutenancy also request, in a particular manner, the Special Constables of Paisley and the Abbey who acted or the occasion, to accept their Thanks for their activity and good behaviour in aid of the Sheriff and Magistrates. 4 fhe Lieutenancy beg leave to give their Thanks to Major Kingdon, and the Officers, Non comthissioned Officers, art . (' Privates of the two Companies of the 80th Regiment, and to Lieu tenant Hodgson, and the Non-commissioned Of ficers and Men of the detachment of the 10th Hus sars, for their excellent conduct on the occasion of the disturbances that have occurred." RESOLUTIONS OF COMMON SENSE, TOR THE PREVENTING OF POPULAR DELUSION PROM POLITICAL ORATORS. COMMON SENSE RESOLVES, J. That Subjects have no common rights; be cause all men are not fit for all things :—l. In their natural capacity. Ti►e fool has no right to sit at the Council-board ; nor the coward to be the leader of an army.-2. In their moral cape.- city. The thief has no right to be a steward for the public; the idle man has no right to the wages of the industrious.-3. Least of 'all in their religious capacity. The Jew has no right to be a Bishop; the Turk has no right to be a Schoolmaster for the teaching of Christian Chil dren. Men have been guilty of more cruelty, in justice, and robbery, on motives of false reli gion, than on any others whotsoever—Heathens against Christians—Papists against Protestants-- Puritans against the Church and Government of England. Mutual. religio poluit suadere ma lorum kleav'ns! That inch base, such horrid deeds sbould.claim, The sanction of Religion's sacred name. '2. That, the natural rights of man, are the rights of man in a state of nature onlq ; that is, of a man considered as an unsociable independent savage. These are, the rights of eating, drink ing, sleeping, bunting, fishing, propagating his species, whipping his children, and defending him self against wild men and wild beasts. 3. That as soon as a man becomes a member of society, and property is divided by authority, and secured by laws, be is bound as a moral agent. All his natural rights are under restraint, and be cannot exercise them at his will, for fear of an executive power, ordained to prevent it. They are now no longer natural, but are changed into civil rights. 4. That upon the reception of the Christian Religion, natural rights are further restrained by the divine authority of the ten commandments, as explained in the New Testament ; which forbid robbery, murder, false witness, disobedience, and even the desire of another man's property ; and man himself rises from a moral into a reli gious agent. - 5. That, therefore, if any member of a Chris tian society now pleads his natural rights, he thereby declares, that he intends (or wishes) to break through the laws of civil society, and the restraints of religion, and go back as fast as he can, on atheistical principles to the state of na ture ; that is, to reduce things, if be and his fellows shall be able, to a political chaos, or state of anarchy, under which there shall be no distinction of right or property, but such as they themselves shall be graciously pleased to settle. It all the beasts of the forest and the desert were mingled into one bociety With sheep, pats, oxen, and horses (against which God's providence haft wisely provided), Common Sense foresees what must happen when they begin to pursue and exercise their common rights. And the same will hold good in human society; for mankind, like other creatures, are distinguished by birth, humour, and education, into the wild and the tame, the conning and the simple, the peaceable and the rebellious, the temperate and the insa tiahle, the harmless and the blood-thirsty; and have no more claim to ti►e exercise of commoo rights than the beasts have; Therefore, as beasts are under man,'man is under law, human and divine; and it he knows his own interest, he will plead for a due distinc tion of rights, and do all he can to strengthen the hands of the Government tinder which lilt lives, in return for the security he enjoys. Happy is he who is made wise by seeing misery in others, rather than by feeling it in bias' self..--(Birmirigharn Chronicle, Sept. 16.) QLD BAILEY, SEPT. 21. FORGERY. Yesterday, Bartholomew White, was indicted for forging a bill for the stun of 1801. Mr. Joseph Wheatley, hosier, at Leicester, had employed the prisoner as his agent in town. The house was in Woocl-street. He employed prisoner in 1818, and particularly instructed him not to trust any Jews, and to take no " ready made" bills. In December last, witness received a bill for 1801. which was inclosed in a letter written by the prisoner. In a fortnight after this, witness came to town, being much dissatisfied with the prisoner's conduct. The name of James ',awes was indorsed on the bill, and prisoner said that that was the person who had bought the goods; It was a six months' bill. He said be knew the indorser, who was a respectable merchant, and was now abroad. Witness asked him how he was to find that person if the bill was not paid ? Pri soner replied, Rowland was a timber merchant, living at Carlisle. Witness could neither ffnd the acceptor nor drawer of the bill. Went to Manchester and Carlisle in two months after the bill became due, but found none of that name except a person in the Bank, bat who was not the indorser or drawer of the bill ; came to town soon after. He had previously dis charged the prisoner. Saw the pri4,soner at the Mansion-house, where he was examined before the Lord Mayor. Prisoner absented himself Irmo the service of witness, and it was with difficulty he could be found. Witness had some lase-st►i,' in consequence of some improvident sales which he had made. A number of other witnesses were then ,colled r the particulars of whose - evidence was given a few (lays ago in the police reports of the Mau• Mon-house. He called a number of witnesses to prove that he was paid this bill in the course of his trade. Under the direction of the Lvarned Judge thd prisoner was acquitted, but ordered to be detained, as a true bill 11}49 been found against him for a conspiracy, similar to that for which Mose ly. Wolfe, and others were convicted in the Court of King's Bench. VORGING OF A SEAMAN'S WILL. Thomas Fonsick was indicted for forging a'paper purporting to be the last will and testament of John Anderson, with intent to defraud Messrs. Buckle and Co. He is a Portuguese Jew. John Fleming, Clerk to the Deputy Registrif of the Consistory Court of London,. recollects tits prisoner bringing a will, which he now produced. Mr. Clarkson, a Proctor in Doctors' Commons, said the prisoner applied to him on the 7th of July for a probate of a will. Prisoner described himself as the executor of the will, and witness, on looking into it, saw the name was not spelled at the bottom as John Anderson, but as Andre son. Prisoner informed hint that ti►e deceased died on board the Batavia. There was a caveat against the will. Prisoner insisted that the will was a good one, and he was not afraid of it. The officer who apprehended the prisoner pro duced a'probate of the will. Wm. Johnston, managing clerk in the house of Messrs. Buckle and Co., who are owners of the Batavia, knew the deceased, who lett London ill 1817. Being shewn the will, he did not thine the signature to be that of Anderson. The yes.- set was bound for Botany Bay. James Palmer, a seaman, knew the deceased for eight or nine years. The vessel, in which the, both were was at Bombay in March 1816, though the will purported to be made in London on Ills sth of that month. Anderson died in Bombs,' Hospital. He never lived in Prince's-square, St• George's in the East. The plisoner, in his defence, denied having committed the crime. Mr. Justice REST charged the Jury, who, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty-- Death. The folloning, were also capitally convicted :--" William Peterson and John Andrews, for assault' ing John Linimas on the King's highway and taking from his person four half-crowns, John Jones, for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Richard John Draper and steal' ing a quantity of glass-ware and other articles, value 101)1. and upwards.
