This m :n is said CO have been originally a jour neyntan hairdreiser, reised from the ranks for his' extraordinary ferocity. Suebet,. in his dispatch of the '2dtb of Jo*, 1811, threatened, that if the garrison of Tarra gona held out longer he would give u terrible etc ample; and intimidate fon ever Cetalooia and all Spain, by the destruction of the whose city. On . the 28th he ordered the assault, which, unfortu.; 'timely, was but too successful. His dispatch of the 29th states the result,: " Four thousand tnen," he says, were killed in the city ; ten or twelve thousand attempted to escape over the Walls into the country, of whom thousand were seined or drowned ; and nearly . ten thoihand were taken prisoners. He observes, that " this ter rible' example will long resound throughout Spain." The dispatch, containing these ferocious and sanguinary boasts 'VHS published in the 'Mo. titcur of the 9:11 of July following ; and in the very next number of that paper ;appeared a decree of Napoleon, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, Mediator of the Helvetic Confederatitin, &c. &c. &c. creating .Sachet a Marshal of the Empire, as pr'oof of satisfaction for his services in the cap. ! OrpOf Tarragona 1 The day after th e capture of the place, Suchet caused the wonnded Governor, Dun Juan'de Contreras, to be brought before hint Ott a litt er; and in presence of the French and Spanish Officers insulted over hint in this painful state, telling him, " that he (Contreras) was the cause . of all the.horrors committed in Tarragona by the French troops,beeause he had prolonged the :. defence of the place beyond what was considered necessary by the, laws of war; that by those 14W5 Contreras ought to be shot,' for not having capi... tulated as soon as a breach became practicable ; and that lie (Suchet) had alight to put a every, one to the sword, tiod tilfrti every thing in 'the town to the ground," The raising a bin barian who could thus act and thus speak, to an honourable court and in the Royal French armies, is su r ety un insult to every Gentleman and man of true honour that - they contain. It is an insult to all' 'Europe, and .especialiy to' Spain. Sucher is en absolute idolater of his &toady prototype, Boons parte.

Scarcely had Buonaparte reach fed Paris on his rebellious enterprise last year, when Suchet, who 'commanded fur the King at Strasburg, issued a traitorous proclamation on the 231 of March, declaring : , the cause of the -Reba (whom be designated the I4.:auperor) to be that of the 'nation, and calling on the people of Mace to yield to the wishes of their hearts in be, hoisting the three-coloured cockude, which called the rallying signal of every good French -3.1)41). ltven before this, his inclinations were n " ide known to nuonapartel.for they were pub lisbed in the Illonacur amont,the Paris news of the 24th of Mareb.

Parties of the same corps lined Parliament-street for the purpose of preserving order.. „ A "great concourse of people were collected, at usual, in the Park, at the Horse Guards, White hall, &C. who received dm .Prince with frequent IIIiZZOS as he .passed to the House of Peers and on his return. His Royal Higintess.enteredthe House at three minutes before two o'clock, *filch etas announced by a dischage of cannon from the &tut!. beth shore, and by a signal flag at the top of the House of Lords. The Prince remained in the House 35 minutes ; his departure was announced by a seniilar signal to his entrance. His Royal Highness, was attended back to the Palace, in addition to, lice attendants who went with him, by the Lord Steward ,and the Marquis of WlN cnEsTett. 'kheciroom of the Stole also attended to receive the Prince ) as senior Marquis, -and carry the cap of liberty.. The procession returned to the Palace at five nunittes before three o'clock. The PRINCE REGENT and the Doke of WEL LINGTON both wore Field Marshals' oniforms yes terday, and were both covered with the decora tions of their several orders. Prince LEOPOLD was among the strangers of distinction who witnessed the splendid ceremony of the Prorogation of Parlia►nent. The Prince wore the Windsor uniform : he conversed in the . " House with the DUltell of KVNT and Sussex.-.; Most of the Foreign Ministers were also present. The Ladies, yesterday, the House of Lords, wore wreaths of flowers in the hail, with feathers and diamonds. The Duke .of NVELLINGTON passed through great part of the crowd in St. James's - Park, yes terday, without being recognized by the populace. Near the Horse Guards, he was, however, dis covered, and, as soon as his name was shouted, a most Cordial and long-continued liuzza was given. Those, who were near the carriage, thrust their hands, sonic into it, others, who could . reach no further, placed theirs upon the tlnor. They called opt} the Duke to shake haints with lhent . ; and he itindlY grasped as many us he could, while they ran by the side of • the carriage. On retro ping, his coachman drove taster; but the cro \vd, which was waiting for him, chased him along the whole drive 'of the Park. At the Stable-yard gate they came up with him, and 'revenged themselves for their fatigue. They stopped the carriage, opened both the doors, had a grand interview with him, seized his hands, threw themselves upon his knees, and , seemed iuelitted at first, to take him out of the carriage, afterwards to loosen the horses, and draw Itimu iu it. His Grace went through the whole scene with great goud humour.

The Report:. on the Schools under the notice of this Meeting indicate the religious care and good order prevail ing in them, and have yielded us great s.itisf3c lion. The iMprovement of the understanding, and the communication of that knowledge by which it may be more extensively prepared for the ser vice of Him to whom wt must all render our ac count, are ditties not to he neglected. We desire, however, to impress upon all, whether parents, or those to, whom they intrust their tender otl spring, the supreme importan ce o f inculcating the first of duties—the love and fear of God.

Let these be encouraged they will not tail, we trust, if they seek it, to obtain the kind advice of their friend's. Let it be their enybest eoneeln, under these trials, to hold fast ,their confidence in our all-Wise and gracious Helper ; a likewise their love to their tirethren. This love, we believe,. is. peculiarly endangered, whenever the mind is dis turhed by the perplexing cares raising 'tom em barrassed cirennistenees. The amount Of suifertngs' reported this year, occasioned .by claims for tithes; . and tlther.de. mantis of an ecclesiastical nature, with a few for military pur poses, is uptvards 15,0001. Our brethren of all the yearly meetings on the Ame rican Continent have again given , proofs of their love, by written communications. The interest ing t.voi k of Indiaq civillation still occupies their attention. In some of the tribes, the improve ments which, :notwithstanding the lateitcointno tions, have been, gradually going, fOrword, are truly encouraging. In others, those who are con. cerned in this docid Work' hove protnibly'atreath renewed their eNertions where the ravages of atik mid desolated many of the settleMents.
