This vote is, in our opinion, ea li ti fill e d for, and we must further say, we A,b i ;ssee nothing that Mr. M'ADAM has done,. mon ey e "' anY way entitles him to demand this lie from the public. He has made roads to ti,8.13n", the h e has been paid for his labour by for,livlduals who employed him, and if, there ha, u ellas Tail benefited the public, the public nu esti eroutterated hi m . A s far, therefore, as the , o .th e i = ll .turns on roads constructed under. i t • uPerintenclance of Mr. M'AnAm himself, tt. t i , 1 , . 41. l e has no title whatever; and we must therefore presume the money is asked for on thes ground that his plait has been adopted - by o th er road -makers,,and the vote is rerinired not as a retimneration for his labour, lent as a reward for u .syst e urhe has dedicated to the yublic. Giving hires every credit for the novelty Of his inv e ntion (but which sve Will venture to hint has been d ou bt e d), a very little trouble will satisfy us that on this apparently 'plausible ground Mr. MbADAst has no right to . ex:peCt The King is invested with the power of granting patents, securing to the patentee for a certain' number of years the sole use of his invention, and by the sale of permission to use the-newly in vented plan the patentee obtainS his profit 4: This power was given to the King for the express purpose of enabling him to reward scientific in ventions,. and thus encourage learning, without throwing the inventors on the generosity of the public, which, it is obvious, never could suffi ciently reward them. If, then, Mr. M'A nAsi's invention was new, : he ought to have applied for a patent to protect his rights. That he did-not do so was his own fault, and forms no sufficient rea son for calling on the public to give him that re ward which he might have "easily obtained had he wished for-or intended it. If this, 'grant is' allowed, every Person who hereafter shall invent any thing that the. publiC adopt without his per mission, will he coming to Parliament to ask for remuneration for . the benefits his •invention has-I conferred. Public grants ought never to : , be made but(iii, the clearesti view of .justice, and after ell, what is it that Mr. AP-ADAm has done, hut make roads, not merely forthe benefit of the public but to put money in his own pockets: Inven tions of all kinds ought to be left to be rernuoe rated by the public at. large, and not by. Parlia ment, because if they are worth any thing at all they are sure of obtaining for, their itivenlors very handsome and lar7e profits; and if they do not, it is au undoubted sign that they are good for- nothing. If Mr. Nl‘.A DAM obtains , this grant, we hone Mr. B.nouunAm will fulfil his promise, and move for a like grant to Sir, tiummitEy: - DAvY for the invention of his safety larrip,- 7 -an invention beyond all Corn.: parison with Mr. M'AnAst'S•roads, and which; if public grants for such causes are justifiable- at, all, would be so for an invention resulting from. science, and brought to perfection by a series of expensive and dangerous experiments, which, by the limited nature of the demand, could not he remunerated in any other way. We trust, there-- fore, the grant to this Colossus of roads will be rejected ;. and thus he may be taught that the grounds on -Which he makes Ihis claims,upon the public purse must be far better than even his . Turnpike Roads. Saturday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council, which had been previously, summoned by order of Earl BATifunsT, the Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, assembled at the Foreign Office in Downing-street, which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers, except the Earl of WESTMORELAND and Mr. CANNING.

CHIAPPINT, thp brother of the Barone:.s de -STERNBERG ' (widow of Lord NEWBOROUGH) has just publi s h e d i n the Florence Gazette a complete refutation of the romance which first appeared in the Gazette of Genoa, in which she pretends to be the daughter of a French Count, and to have been exchanged in her infancy for a son of Chiappini. He proves victoriously that the facts advanced by the Baroness de Sternberg are false. The strongest' circumstance he brings against her is that she - remained a Flo rence four months, after . his father's death ; three months after leaving Florence (i. e. seven months after Chiappinis's death) she received, she says, .at Sienna, the letter in which her father declared the deception that had been practised, and yet nine months after Chiappini's death, when according to her own shewing, she was convinced by Lorenzo Chiappini's letter, that she was not his daughter, she claimed and received her part of the old man's property. The son threatens to bring an action against the Baron de Sternberg before the competent tribunal to obtain satisfaction for the insult she has put on their father's memory. rieNtlY FusEr.t, EsQ.—This Gentleman, who has long been an Artist,-died on Saturday last-in his 87th year. He came first to this cotintryin 1762, and being a scholar, round an easy admission into learned and critical circles. As an artist, he was rather distinguished for theoretical knowledge than for practical skill. Indeed, he freely acknowledged his deficiency in the latter respect, alleging that his bent was rather to think than to paint. His object seemed to be to render himself a second Ai ic: GAEL AN . GELo, but. he by no me a n s p ossesse d a genius that supported his ambition; and though his rash ra th er than bold conceptions might please a few, y e t 'he never became a popular painter, and consequently. found little patronage among reatjudges. - He was chiefly defective in taste, and a proper notion of character. The most impressive of his works is a scene from ham let,where by making the moon shine upon the 1 Ghost, a kind of supernaturaleffect wasproduced, but the attitude of-Hamlet was a violent distortion. .In a scene from The Tem pest -he made the simple, artless, innocent Miranda, appear like afiirt ing girl, without elegance or beauty. II is Puck, in stead of being light and airy, was heavy and unpleasing, lil ti chief work was hi s .I.lilton'a Gallery, which abounded with a variety of objects; some of Which displayed greater mechanical skill than usually appeared in his productions, and some of the i subjects he treated with -poetical conception. Another of his chief works was a- aeene -. from Midrummer Aright's Dream, which the late Dr. Wolcot compared to a toy-shop. But though Mr. Fusili was an indifferent Artist, he was a judicious and liberal instructor, and a ready friend to juvenile students. Being a good scholar, he was employed by the booksellers as a critic in periodical reviews. He understood the English lan guage well, but his pronunciation was uncouth, and sometimes not intelligible. His power of sarc as m wa s s trong, and all his con temporarie s d rea d e d the bitterness of his remarks; indeed it is probable that the fear of falling under his lash principally con tributed to mak e hi m a Royal Academician, and finally to pro cure him the double situation of Pidessor of Painting and Keeper of the Academy. In private life he was an honourable man and a steady friend, but none could escape from the effu sions of his sarcastic humour. His Lectures are a proof of manyby a' professional research a n d l earning, and his observations on the works of the great Artists o f ant i quity, if not original, are at least cor p re r c h t .a a t n e d fr a i p e p ns appropriate. among whom w ere te. He wasesteemed of thenum erous well as learned circles. He di e d at the house of the Countess o f Guildford, on Putney Hill. Th ere c be higher circlea as of an nodoubt that his remains will receive due honours from the President and Mem bers of the noyal Academy, who will doubtless also make a liberal provision for his amiable, affectionate, and estimable widow.

KING'S THEATRE -L'rhe Empire of Fashion is fully restored, and now flourishes in all its former strength. The house - on Saturday was crowded in all arts. The Opera consisted of nne act of Adelina, and one of L'ltaliana in Algieri,in which the powers of GArtctA, De BEGNIS, and his interesting wife, and Bemoans:l, were exerted with admirable skill. These Operas are too well known to re quire animadversion. The grand novelty of the night was a new Ballet, entitled CleOpatre, 'Belize d'Egypt. The loves of Cleopatra and Anthony, which . are recorded in History and celebrated by Poets, are on this Occa4on intro duced into dramatic action with powerful- effect: It -would be absurd to suppose that the story can be rendered intelligible in detail,and all that can be expected is an outlin e by action, the incidental graces of dancing at'd grandeur of scenery. These objects were in general accomplished'to the satis, ' faction of the audience. The corn-poser of the ballet is Mons. A UMER, , who is :deservedly ad mired for compositions of a similar description. Madame LE Gaos was the Cleopatre, ',Units. C. VESTRIS was Anthony, and Madame ltosixf VESTRIS, . personated Octavio. - It •was rather -difficult to introduce the latter character, yet it was requisite, in order to the story, hut we conceivegive sO rv i e var i ety to that she does not properly appear among the Bacchanalian revel-' lers who minister to the pleasure of the celebrated lovers. The Ballet is impressive, but so a app • is in gett er I . ro too lotto- The scenery priate and splendid.' The Ballet was received with universal applause. The Grand Duke of Wetsien has ordered a new and magnificent theatre to be erected on the same spot where the former one. was lately de stroyed by fire. Nothing of the for was preserved but th e music, which mer theat re expected to lie ready by i s hi g hl y ya. lua l i t i e new er, e‘ an t d he i a n tre is the nielintime perform ances take place in another p u bli c edifice.

VTR surf . •• This vast exieqive and puputous country in habited wholly by Hindoos, was first conquered by Maltotifood the First, in the year of Christ 1000, and remained under:Ma hometan government between seven and eight century's. The Hindoos who are a mild gentle race *hen allowed to low their religious rites and ceremonies,- (which consist in almost every thing they do) will submit to. any yoke or oppression, without making any strenuous exertion to free themselves from . .it ; but whenever those- rites are interfered with, they assume a. bold intrepid spirit, fearless of danger or death. This has- been evinced in a thousand instances during the Mahometan and. English Governments; and the reason why the Hindoos never succeeded in shaking off the Nalionie tan yoke may he a ccount e d f ore from the w a nt o f unaunani mit yamotigst th emse l ves , and their inferior knowledge of military tactics. Although the- Mahometans despoiled their-temples, and committed every kind of insult to their sods and Priests, the Hindoos were obliged to submit to it for. a . time. It is well known that there was scarcely a Hindooln-Hindonstan who did not wish for an opportunity of shaking. off the 1 1 :Aim/let:in . yoke, and the success of the English niayebe well accounted for from this principle alone. . had not the Hindoos been treacherous to - Surajult Ul Dow.: lab at the battle of Plassey, and had not the Hincios Sepoys, under Colonel Clive, been stimulated by the same Wish acts .of heroism, Colonel Clive not .have conquered a- hundred thousand men, . and a large train of artillery, with his striall army [hot exceeding six thousand, including Sepoys]. During the time the English have governed in India, the Sepoys in' almost every instance have shewn themselves to be a brave . get ' of men, and much attached to their officers—the few exceptions have been, generally, if not wholly owing to interference with their religious rites and ceremonies. This ought to 'be a warn ins to us rot to interfete' w ith th ose r it es . !' • - If we wish to continue Governors of that Empire; we ought to conciliate our native troops by every. possible means 'eon:. sistent, with military discipline. If the Priests and Missionaries sent to India were all unani mous in one grand point of worship and faith, they would never, • succeed in - converting the Ilindoo to Christianity. Such is.th e opinion of some of the cleverest men that ever resided in India, amongst whom was the late Sir I'lrtn. :Tones, whose general and particular knowledge of the inhabitants of that country and their religion, no Eurnpean has equalled ; therefore is it likely that men professing different tenets should succeed ? The attempt in chimerical and pregnant with 'danger. That this may be seen in its proper light by the English Le .eislatute, and that they may take effective measures to coun teract its baneful influence, is the sincere wish of . AN OLD INDIAN. P. S. Lately I saw.a copy - of a Letter in a Newspaper, said to be from an Officer at Rangoon, describing' their accommo dations in an elegant Pagoda. (or Temple), observing that it was strange to see nap sacks hanging on one God, arms piled against another, and so on. This I was sorry to see, being well aware the effect it. must have on our native troops who hold all such places in the highest degree . of superstitious veneration. May not this have had some influence in wejudicing our native troops, and of inducing a reluctant disposition to fight the Burmese ? MERCANTILE SHIPPING. DEAL, APRIL 17.—Wind P.M.

CORN EXCHANGE, Apnrr. 18. There was a tolerable good arrival of Wheat last week, anti a large quantity.of English and Irish Oats; of other Grain the quantities were not considerable. This morning there is not much Corn fresh up from the near counties, but there are a good many more ships in from the northern ports and Ireland with Wheat and Oats. Prime Wheat meet buyers readily, and rather exceeds last week's prices ; other qualities sell very -heavily. , Prime malting Barley is rather clearer, but there is not much trade for other sorts, and prices of such unaltered. Beans and Pease are dull in disposal at last week's quotations. There are plenty of Oats now for sale, and this .article is ex•. tremely dull, at Is. per quarter reduction from the terms of last Monday. In the Flour trade there is very little business 'doing, and prices are unaltered. ‘, .

He is much rt!gret ted by his friends, who looked upon lath as at, enlightened and disinterested man. But by far the most important part of the contents of these Papers is. copies of a correspondence between Mr. Canning and the Secretary of the Provisional Greek Government. -The latter addressed a note to Mr. Canning in August last, in conse quence of a Memorial of the Russian Govern ment on the war between the Turks and Greeks, which appears, however, to have been published without the consent of that Power. In this do cument the other great Powers are invited to in terpose their good offices, in order to terminate this sanguinary struggle, in a way that would not entirely invalidate the rights Of the Porte, and without exposing the Greeks to the vengeance of that Power This compromise the G reek Se cretary indignantly repels in the nameof his Go ieriiinent and nation,and invokes the British Go vernment, in a strain of considerable eloquence, to interpose its powerful aid between the Greeks and the proposed scheme. Mr. Canning . , in his reply, assures the Greeks of 'the friendly dispo sitionof Russia towards them, and describes the insuperable di ffi culties of a mediation, I,;t aecount of the unconceding temper of both 'ilte Bellige rents. At the same time he decline,s,-fitmly-, though in the most courteous terms, the solicita tion to aid the Greeks ; whilst he gives an'assur mice that England v.-ill persevere in the strict neutrality to which she has heretofore adherdd. tuarrtsit muss.] . • In the German Papers which arrived rester. day, we have some very interesting, though not very recent, intelligence, relative to Greekaffaini. The Egyptian Admiral, Ismael Gibraltar,' died on his return to .Alexandria, and it appears :that his master, the Viceroy of Egypt, is not.dispikest to snake much exertion in aid of what-he &kirk less regards as a hopeless contest.. The - troops landed at Modon are stated to be 'intly...2.oo6:itt number ; but it is resolved by the Turkish - 05h,- Man-tiers that the Itl orea s h a ll he Invaded, ,:pro vided, we suppose, that no obstacle shall,again frustrate their intentions. We have no apprej.i.en sions for the issue of the campaign' that is about to commence. But the most interesting part of:this intelligence consists: of two Notes that pasmd . at the close of last year betWeett Rodios; the Secre tary of the. Provisional Government of Greece, and Mr. Canning,.. on cite subject of the insolent Note issued _by the Russian Government respect ing- the brave efforts of the . Greeks to continee their independence. The letter of M. RodinS"&) the British Minister is written in that high, and eloquent strain of heroic patriotism whiChltts distinguished his countrymen during their glorious struggle for deliverance from the detestablelok=e'' of the Ottomans. Contrasting themselves with*Aii - e people of South America, the Greeks justly: O c t:, test against being " excluded 'from the 'list ,, o(' civilised nations, and.deliVered.up to the caPrie;'. : of either Russia' or Turkey • .: the exertions of th e G ree k s a n d Sn ut h Ainerieilw be comparatively considered, -Were can bfe..t . 4l doubt that if the achievements' Of...eaCh /lenge were the proper:criterion of their claims to reCok-: 5 . . nition aS•an independent Power, the former Are,. tenfOld more entitled than' thelatter to he deenned ., , and conStititted . a free nation. The - :Greek' 'cretary nobly vindicates his compa:triots, therefore we'quote•his own words: ";Fhey:li t tiel;: linpresied `the stamp of disgrace ors ~ wettkneis ;'-' they haie • .proved that woi iiito he free ; they d o not s c o nte n d their Mother: COuntry.„ . but . .against Na. , foreigt , people' thacoceupied their country' (by the ,rNli . f t , 'of brute force alone) and treated their childrenr. : i as 'slaves.

In several actions they have defeated the numerous and.fo.imidable fleets: . -of Turkey with small merchantmen.. 'They established laws like those of civilized 'nations. They have formed a Government, and submitted::',': to its commands. Can it then he doubted that pie ; Greeks are worthy of independence ?" We migh.t ' go on and transcribe the whole.letter, ' every pa- - sage of which is equally eloquent and impressive- Mr: Canning's answer is that ofan enlightened and liberal Statesman: In a . d o c ume nt, such as at that,kooment writing, it w as_ bis"dtity IV ex- Plain his views as a p ai t i c i a p , not to ex press his feelings as a man. to h is f h e ha d had only to give utterance ardent aspiration s for Greek liberty, no task would have been
