Never since the beginning, of time was there - a Government IvhiCh displayed less of a sanguinary and vindic tive spirit, The Government which has succeeded, if Gorertithent it can be called, is chargeable *OW wholesale' imprisonments, robberies, and aitinisiitiations. During the whole period of the COnstitution& Government, The New nmes, Colitier, And the rest of the Ministerial Papers, never ceased lauding it with the grossest abuse. I , :very Artifice was resorted to, every prejudice was appealed to,' in order to render this unfor tneate Government odious in the eyes of the country. The very Ecclesiastical Reforms, which rrotestants should have been the last to condemn, and which religion and morality, not less than the exigencies of the State commanded, were the theme of constant invectives. But now that atrocities, to which those of the French Revolu tion were nothing, are constantly taking place, these admirers of social !order are dumb. It w'onid seem from ,their silence as if they consi dered murder and robbery among the incon.l teStible Prerogatives of legitimate Governments: What a contrast between the conduct of 'the liberal writers of this country,, during the perpes swim' of these wholesale atrocities, and that of the Anti... heath's . during the years 'which suc ceeded the Prench'itevolution I The former, so fur frem4int king' the most of 4hrii sonibreintelligence Vritieli' 'tea Chet tiseth rromS pa i tyto !fa la from. nd Pa dawdling eto excite odinm Against the -contemptible, etasseorbo pollitied Allis Press of this Country wittVelefamatoey 'libels against the , unfortunate Cotiatitutionallsts,leeking to' deprive them. •in their struggle, of the generous sympathies of the people of Eartipe,And to strengthen the hands of their leagued oppressors,—hardly ever touch on the distressing subject. It would, however, be only justice were they to point the attention of the public occasionally to the calamitous results which have followed from the wicked aggression oriSnain, and to charge the abetters of the Holy Alliance 'in this country, The Nere Times and Cotillee' morn particularly . , with the: deep re. sponsibility which they incurred by their en venomed 'calumnies against the well-meaning men who were honestly endeavouring to regenerate their country The Army of the Faith are in nocent compared with these apostate Englibh. Ines), because the former were nourished in ig norance, prejudice, and bigotry,—they had not had the advantage of an education in a country of law and order—they had not before their eyes the spectacle of the benefits which had been derived from a succession of popular struggles. But those advocates of the Holy Alliance are generously spared. It seems to be supposed that the horrors which ,now deso late Spain, must press with sufficient !weight On the mind of those who share the responsibility of them. Perhaps .in this diteAliewence is not made for the peculiar ability :of these gentlemen, to' bear up against 'siltrit would '4loply ordinary minds. 44 I cannot' (said ',Whar to the Ass who complained to-him of the cruelty of man),---1 cannot give more' feeling to man, butl can give insensibility to yois.'!

WO eitwessed st tins same time the satisfaction We fnii: at,thet determination. The satisfaction was indeed olloyed by the consideration' 'that the course of sii4 ; 'Geverninent was imperiously prescribed by . the .preponderating powers who call themselves the; European Alliance, and who certainly give 13'w to Europe.

The defeat and dispersion of,the army of the latter are now represented as so, complete, as to have induced the 44 Insurgents" themselves to rise against their Chiefs, and deliver up Gene rals Alvarado and Santa. Crux to the Royal troops. Neither is this all : The 46 Intrepid La Serna" is made to wait for nothing but the re inforcements sent out from Cadiz, to invade the state of Chili, and reduce it to its former servi tude. As to Bolivar, the article says—" he is so weakened, and his situation so perilous in the midst of a population which execrates him, that he will not content himself with flying from Guayaquil to Panama. Ile must make haste to return into the Colombian territory, and the time is not very distant when means will be found to overtake him there." It must be owned that the Madrid Ga..;etle has a happy knack at prophesy ing; and that it is much indebted to Bolivar for the manner in which he has helped to realize its predictions. It expressed n conviction that he must be overtaken, and behold he himself came forward to meet the enemy ! It is true that it was not on the Colombian territory that the meeting took place, and the battle was fought, and that his flight has turned out to be that of a conqueror, instead of the running away of a fug'. the : but it will only cost King Ferdinand nod his Editors some of that' inventive skill which they are so often in the habit of exercising to give a proper colouring to the matter, and we have no doubt that with a little care and inge nuity they will satisfactory prove to those who will believe them, that Bolivar's return to Lima is a fresh proof of discomfiture, and that he has been driven to that city on purpose by the 64 in trepid Viceroy," let he should effect his escape back into Colombia. [nurrisit ' , Hess.; The conflicts between the Bench and the Bar have been more frequent in ono of our CoUrts within these few days, than they ever were be. fore within the walls of the Four Courts in as, ninny years.

We consider this captivating description of. things us quite justifiable in a poet. If he were obliged, to cull in• matter of fact to his assistance, the picture would gain infidelity; but to pin a poet down to precision ie his statements, would be to deprive him of the choicest of his preroga tives. But although Coreper's Reports on this subject may be good authority in the realms of fiction, we suspect they will not be quoted with much reVeretice in the Court of Common Pleus.

['rut: Time v.] It hi generally believed in the first military circles, that the question of the expediency of preserving our possessions in Western Afrieur ut the ex pence of increasing the army, has.at length been determined in the affirmative. Tine rein• forcements, however, will be raised in a manner the least objectionable to those who are advocates for abandoning the s,:erie of so much recent dkaster. Two black regiments are to be levied, which will prevent the conence and delay of recruiting in this country. Two white regiments are, at the SUMO time, intended to, be formed from convicts, in the tin me manner es the 60th was raised,. which will strengthen the white population in our Africun possessions. These four regiments, with the increased strength of the 2d West India Regiment, and Itoyal Afri-' curl Colonial Corps, will, it is supposed, prove sufficient to make such u demonstration against the Ashantees, and our other enemies, as shall obtain It settled ptsar►., and prevent a recurrence of such reverses as have been lately experienced. Of this force Major General Turner takes the. command ; Colonel Sutherland, second in coin inand ; and Major Chisi►u,ini will retain the in►- portant post of Cape Coast Castle.

[NEW TIMES.] Yesterday little business was transacted in the Funds, with the exception of one extensive sale made on account of the Legatees under the Will of the late Duke of Queensberry, respecting which a motion was lately made in the Court of Chancery, to prevent the whole amount,47o,oool.from being sold at one time, from fear of producing a depre predation in the market. This apprehension was the event ; for, on th e con t rar y, not Consols justifiedby improved in the course of the day, having o p ene d at 92i 4, and closed at 0211. The in telligence from Peru'of the successes of Boli. var still remains to be the subject of much doubt ; and the individuals closely connected w ith th a t Country, and whose interests would strongly incline them to a belief in its truth, are the parties most inclined to doubt its accuracy. Some days may probably elap se b e f ore th e t ru th can be ascertained. In the interval the effect upon the Securities of the South American States is likely to be unimportant. Yesterday the prices remained nearly the same as prievously to the reported arrival of intelligence, there not being a half per cent. difference in the prices. Peruvian Scrip, however, which was the other day at 30 per cent. discount, is now quoted at 20 per cent. discount. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. (From the Stoelcport Journal, July 23. • - • - FREE 'fit APE.—Throughout the whole of the discussions which took place during the last Session of Parlia ment, in consequence of the projects of Government to lay open trade as far as possible, we Advocated the system of a free trade. We were convinced that'this country was able to compete in e very branch with the whole world, we were satisfied that all protections from competition were only checks upon energy, all prohibitions of foreign articles only cramps upon domestic in. dustry, in as much as they take away that stimulus to invention and improvement which necessity creates. Every trial has borne witness to the truth of these positions, each relaxation of trading restrictions, each increase of liberty given to it, has given additional spirit, additional buoyancy to trade, whi c h soars to still greater heights of improvement the mote it is left to itself. In this country the branch of trade which has made the greatest progress, which has most completely outstripped all othera, has been the one least . protected , the most complete. ly left to rely on itself; and in its early stages it was not only unprotected, but in fact opposed by legal enactments. Halt' a century has not elapsed since Calicoes could not be legally made. and sold In this country, as the East India Company hail a nuinOpolyof the market and the right of exclusive supply ; in consequence of this the calicoes were made with a fast thread of' coloured twist down each side, and then were sold us stripped cottons. Hut prohibitions of this kind could not last long, they were soon done away with ; but the fact of laws having clogged the commencement of such a trade, when it* subsequent _progress is known, speaks volumes as to the effect of laws against any trade ; for if the energy of a people .he directed to any particular object, the greatest obstacles give way, and industry with perseverance will prevail. Without any protection, without any call for forced support upon the country, the Cotton trade has bid defiance to all competition, either in amount and importance at home, or in cheapness . and facility of production abroad. —Placed in the midst of this manufacture, with the proofs of its success and Increase before our eyes, we may be partial judges, woe ::may draw general inferences from particular cattle)", Lit.:we_tio ti think that great Mee of its prosperity hate been that to the e ortt'alime of ilmse engaged in it, has its care been intrusted, and it Is our thin opinion that if all the other . branches of tettilei,b) oe! enektprOptillieen • in ii'kus „manner lent to themwv4; t) , nave ncreaueu in a touch greater proportion than they have done.

If then these are facia, and that they are we can vouch, every step towards the attainment of making such prin ciples general Amid be wished for by every one,, not only by by those engeg t ei in any particular Winch, but by ell of what ever rank or occupation.

The learned Sir WILLIAM JoNEs was of opi nion that boon or Persia was the country from which all the nations of the earth derived their origin ; it being, according to him, the place whence people migrated in all directions, and in which migration they of course carried their language along with them. Ile supposed that the language of the first Persian empire was the mo ther of the Sungskrut, and consequently of the Zend and Parsi, as well as of Greek, Latin, and Gothic. lle goes further to say, the inhabitants of Britain first came from Armenia, and that the Goths, or Scythians, first came from Persia, vide Asiatic Research, p. 64, 65 ; and Flowers of Per sian Literature, p. 46, 47. That the ancient Hint doos copied their former worship from the Persians, we are assured in Maurice's Antiquities, where it s particularly mentioned in p. 195, 196, corro borating the opinion of Sir WILLIAM JONES ; for if one nation adopted the religion of another, can there be a doubt of its adoption of part of its lan guage also ? To oppose such authorities as those just stated, and they are borne out too not only by the creed of our fore-fathers, but many other strong and presumptive existing proofs, would be little better than questioning the truth of fact, which the following instances will place beyond the power of the most ardent lover of quibble to rebut.—Here reference shall only be made to a few cases, in which two languages are so strictly alike, both in sound and meaning, that the most superficial observer must perceive their affinity, and then it will require but little sagacity to se. partite the parent from the offspring. Out of at least 1,000 words that might easily be instanced, a few only shall be taken as they present themselves :—and, first, let us. take 44 bud h," which in Persian means " wicked or bad ;" " burader" is" brother" in every sense; "boucle" a " slave," one that is bound ;" " bate" is a " butt" for shooting at —query, whence comes the French word 44 butt ?" -The Persian com parative of the adjective good, viz. bether," is precisely our English word " better ; " bill," a 44 pickaxe," in Persian, with a hooked point— English, " bill" or billhook ;" " patter" " father"— Latin, 64 pat er ;" " pees," " fairy ;" " peer," in Persian, a title of honour, meaning 46 senior," or 46 old," 46 wise," 66 learned" or man of quality ;" " dokhter," 44 daughter ;" " der" a " gate" or " door ;" 44 shekher," " sugar."

JOHN o'GnoAT's House is a memorable place, in the parish of Canisbay, in Caithness, in Scot land, which, perhaps, owes its fame less to the circumstance of it local situation, at the northern extremity of the island, than to an event which it may not be improper to relate, as it inculcates an useful lesson of morality. In the reign of JAMES the Fourth of Scotland, three brothers, MALCOLM, GAVIN, and JOHN DK GROAT, (sup posed to have been originally from Hollandd arrived, in Caithness, with a letter from that Prince, recomrnen ding them to the countenance and protection of his loving subjects in the county of Caithness. These brothers pur chased some land near Dungisbay-head, sod in a short time, by the increase of their families, eight different proprietors of the name of GROAT possessed the'se lands in equal divisions. These eight families having lived peaceably and comfortably fora number of years, established an annual meeting to celebrate the anniversary of the arrival of their ancestors 00 the coast. In the course of the festivity on one of these occasions, a question arose respecting the right of taking th e d oor , th e head of the table, and such points of precedency, (each contending for the seniority and chieftainship) which in' creased to such a degree as would probably have proved fatal in its consequences, had not %/out ( DE GROAT, who appears to have acquired great knowledge of mankind, interfered.
