LITERATURE. VIQISSITUDES OF A SCOTTISH SOLDIER'. London: 1827. No Highland spirit 'dictated this volume, which is penned from first to laSt in a wrong ,style of feeling,' with here and there a dash of small sarcasm running through 'it, like aschili vein in marble. The thing is manifestly a , make up ; the production of some jobbing workman, who has drawn many of his de tails from the journals of the 'tithe; and jaundiced them with his own diseased imagination. He rarely, for instance, loses a chance of larding the French, to the detriment of his own countrymen ; (which he does by ingenions but indirect paral lels, . thrust in whenever even the ghost of an opportunity occurs of ridiculing his superior Officers ; of . discussing, in conventional terms, the injustice of the Peninsular war ; and of turn ing into a joke--,-and a remarkably dull one his best is, having nothing but its bad taste to re commend it----Lthe attitudes of a wounded com panion. Shame on the cold heart that can thus find subject for merriment, in the last convulsive throes of a friend, with whom, perhaps, but the night before it has passed the wine cup—and /deeper shame on the malignant depravity of taste that, however sincere may be its brutality, can' intrude such scenes upon the public ! But the book; as we observed before ; is the composition of neither Scotch nor English soldier. It is the offspring of dyspepsia and a bad disposition, both of which have combined at the same time to quicken into rancour the Boeotian intellects of some hacknied book-maker. We subjoin an ac count of the embarkation of Sir John Moore's troops at Corunna, as the must favourable sample of the volume : ", On the following day, the 16th of January, 1809, the battle of Corwrina took price; but it so happened that we had little to do with the :liga s gement, only four of our com panies being engaged, and those hut partially. Towards the close of• the day, we were strdered to relieve some of the regiments which had suffered most; in marching across a road to effect this, we saw Sir John Moore carried by wounded. The coming s.O of night put an end to the action,—so that we had, to retrace our steps to onr old poai tion, having fortunately suffered only the loss of one man kined, an officer and some others wounded. . " The history of shooting the cavalry horses is well known; but I unifine myself to our own transactions. We bivouacked on the night of the battle, after kindling numerous fires. The ships having arrived, we rose silently in the dead of the night, and leaving some men to keep. up the firye, in order to deceive the enemy, we marched off " tri din," through the town of. Corunsa,,aud from thence to the,sea side. It. - , as a dark and stormy night; numerous small boats lay pitching and rolling on the troubled waters; and our only light came from ‘...!e flambeaux held by some naval officers. The scene of confusion that • took place baffles all description ; nearly the whole of our army was assembled here, in the most tumultuous manner, , and eve,ry one rushed indiscriminately into the boats, reckless of danger. All control and order were now lost, every one shifting for hirosslf, without regarding the order to keep by his own particular regiment : as usual in such cases, we Followed the example, and were soon scattered among the crowd. The confusion was much increased by the turning loose the baggage mules as soon as they were unloaded., " Haeju& with infinite difficulty, forced, toy way into a crowded boat, we pulled off from the shore. Already many of the nien were asleep at thebottom of the boat—such had been their excessive fatigue. The sailors who rowed us, anxious to get rid of their laborious work, put us on board the vessel nearest to the shore, and the consequence of this was, that the vesselsWliieh lay - farthest out were not half so mach incommoded by numbers as our ship war." DEAN, CHAPTtR,'AND CHOIR OF ST. 1 0 F:TER 4 s,' WESTMINSTER. " Spiritual' and S'iralur coneevito be reduced to their proper ranks, which are now mixed and ccntbunded, the better to disguise the preposterous subordination of the noble to the inferior; till we have forgotten the unhippy CEII.I‘II,;TICY of turning ALL, even RELIGION itself, into gold, y e must never hope to get out of the furnace ; -our flosses will , still grow fiercer, sad with this -unna a tural effect, to consume net the dross, hu t the, pure met"— .Bishop Caws.of the Pecay . of Christian Piety, 1677. In adverting to the very umgracious manner in which the application, or elain, of the Friends of that late much • lainented Musician, Mr. Sale, was received by the Pignitaries of St. Peter's, as com pared with those "at St. Patti's, it is not intended, even by ; inference, to undermine the respect and in fluence due to the Clerical character, or to suppose that every individual composing the Chapter con curred in " the measure. It too frequently occurs with bodies so constituted, to clothe individual actions with the' Supposed authority of the whole, and to call in the aid of Statutes, :2ad precedents to , protect them, which have hitherto been wholly disregarded. The saddle, however, ought to be placed on the right horse. Bad as he is, the Devil may be &bad, Be falsely, charged; and,eauselessly accused, 'When men, unwilling to be blated alone, Shift off their crimes on him Which are their own. It is,understood that the family of the late Mr. Sale intended that his remains should have been in terred privately, at St. John's, Westminster; but intimation having been received that an Illustrious Personage, who condescended to inquire after him during his illness, as well as several Noblemen, Pro fessional Friends; and others, had expressed an opi /lion that the funeral should be public, and at one of ahe.Cathedrals, to enable the profession to pay the last tribute to their departed brother, an application was very respectfully made (instead of what might have been legally claimed) to the proper authorities of St. Peter's, for the intament to taKe place at that Cathedral. The, family anxiously expected (what common courtesy demanded) an early reply. The application was repeated; and, ,to the fifth applica tion, this charitable decision was returned—that the bOdy might be interred in a remote but, of late, an unusual place of interment, in the cloisters, where the burial service- would be -read, and_. that the profits sional friends might afterwards go into the choir and sing an anthem ; but on NO ACCOUNT WOULD THE BODY RE ALLOWED TO ENTER, THE CATHEDRAL ! notwithstanding several precedents were quoted to ahis very Venerable body. • Where art thou fled, fair Charity?

It is expected she will teach England about the middle of October; and will be the first to convey the sudden and afflicting news of the death of our venerable Governor. _ His Majesty's schooner Cbchin sailed on Thursday with despatches for the Admiral. ' The General Palmer, tvii h her usual punctuality, sails on the very day fixed for her departure ; she proceeds to sea this evening (July 14), quite full of caigo. We understand the General Palmer may be-eX pecu.d again early in May. The papers contain copies of two petitions to Parliament, frcAL the inhabitants of Calcutta, The first petition pray s, '" that 'the Legislature will be pleased to pass an Act, declarinc , that The 530 Geo. 111., cap. 155, sec. 98, 99, is limited to Duties of Customs, and that such Statute does not empower the Governor-General in Council, with the sanction of the Court of Directors and the Board of Centro], to impose any taxes .within Calcutta other than Duties of Customs; or for such other relief as to the wisdom of Parliament shall seem fit." The second petition prays " for legislative enact ments, whereby / the landed or real property of de ceased persons within Calcutta (not being Hindoos Or Mahomedans) may be made liable to the PavMent of their simple contract debts, in the hands of their executors cr administrators, unaffected by the right of dower; and also giving aliens the right :o hold landed property within Calcutta, and to transmit the came to their heirs ; and likewise an Act for the relief of insolvents, and to secure to their creditors an equal distribution of their effects." The Marquis of Lansdowne and the Earl of Darn ley are 40 be requested to present the above peti tions to. the House of Lords, and Sir J. Macintosh and It . Brougham, Esq. are to be solicited to pre sent the same to the House of Commons. James Weir Hogg, Esq. had been appointed to carry to England the - petitions, and upwards of 30,000 rupees had been subscribed to defray the expences of the mission. • _ _ The public Meeting at which the petitions alluded to were adopted had been held on the 3d of May. The Calcutta Chronicle had been suppressed by Order of the Bengal Government. The crop of indigo was expected to be productive. On the 30th ofJune it was ascertained that 130,000 maunds had been got iu. _ L. TNAJBLIN,: ,Tt,TESDAY, NOV. 27.—1 n the Court of King's Bench this day, an application was made to discharge the Rev.

Mr. BROWN'S Gas-vacuum Boat was exhibited again yesterday on the Thames, near . Blackfriars Bridge, in the:presence of many scientific gentlemen and a crowd of spectators. A Noblemon and several 'other persons of rank were in carriages on the laridg: to witness the opera tion. We certainly were much pleased with the quiet, steady, and effective action of the engine, whiCh gave general eatiafaCtion. The boat was propelled against,a strong tide through the middle arch of the bridge, and manoeuvred for ...... . . .. some tinae_upand down the river. • The trial -of the. Pro pelling poWer of the engine was considered All purposes so SatisfattOry, and the machine so'Perfectly sat and portable, that an eminent coach proprietor• who attended, imme diately signified his-wish to enter into ' usiVe . contract.* Itit. for its application, as a power superior, ; tilers for pro pelling stage coaches and vans. . .. . The Cap - Apr . llkt takes its name from a small coons in the King's apartment, formerly destined as a sit ting room far. the attendants of the second class, whose office was to answer the King's bell. Thepleasure which FERDINAND, even from his infancy, always found in the company of the lowest and most vulgar servants of the Royal' Household, made him so often frequent - this place, and et last it became the general rendezvous of his friends, at the head of which was Cir..ksiortno, a fellow Who had been a waterroap the greater part of his life, and who ac companied the King•to France in a very inferior situation. There also .figured RAVIREZ DE AitELLANO, who, from a shoe-black of the Royal Household, had ascended to the office of spy on both axes, and, was afterwards invested with the public character of Chamberlain to his . Majesty, as well as with that of Honorary Familiar of the Holy office. As it was in the camarilla where most favours and offices were dispensed, all the swarm of ambitious intri guers flocked there to obtain admittance; so that the ante,-rooms of the ministers were deserted, their, porters lost their scandalous perquisites„and the ancient monopoly of the clerks in the offices of the Secretary of State was annulled. Soon a numerous tErtalia (nn, evening society) composed of monks, inquisitors, counseydrs, servile and. luelcelwzi.ll9:ats..--nclilitatY SYcnP43l,,g s 4 Al A few A 'Awn C. 11,10 011 the look-out for places, and enemies to the inde pendenc4 of their country, was formed in the camarilla.

THE EXPLOSION OF GAS.—Yester44y morn ing eariy, the inspectors belonging to the Gas works in Great St. Peter-street, Westniinster,' with crowds of paviors, labourers, &c. were at Work in Little College street, Wood-street, &c. in consequence of the extraordi nary explosions that took plate there on . Tuesday night. Those Streets Were dug up, .not only where the main pipes awn Aown the centre of the street, hut where pipes branch off for tke ppply of the parish lamps, various houses, &c. The explcisicins ~, re no longer represented to result wholly from '" foul air" collected in the sew Era; but, after many excavations,!the workmen ..epresetited that they had dis covered at the c.d of Little College-street, and near to where the alarming explosions took place, defects in the -'gain pipe. It was therefore supposed that " escapes" 'night hare taken olao. froth such injured pipes into the chief sewer. Whatever reisht be the cause; whether from , the dilapidated state of the, pipes, or otherwise suffering c, escape','.' the stench in the neighbourhood, while the streets remained open,- was ,almost unbearable. As to the explosinns• of 'Tuesday night, (whether arising front the 'foul air," or " escape" frOvo holes in • the gas-pipes,) in . . LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1827. Although a few hours more must probably elapse before we positively know the actual re sult of the Elections of the Departmental Colleges in France, yet we are already in possession of sufficient information to convince us 'that' M. VILLELE has utterly failed in the .eject he had in view by the dissolution of the two Chambers, and that .his downfall will probably be the con sequence. The growing opposition to him,as the Minister, induced him to ,have recourse to :a desperate measure to re-establish his influence, and placing every . thing on the hazard of that one measure, his discomfiture can scarcely fail to wrest from his hands at once the reins of office. That VILLELE has disregarded the feeling's of the people of France, and attempted to enchain them by various encroachments on, their liberties, cannot be denied by the warmest advocates of his policy with respect to the-e),terrlid - relationsi France. He` has step by step advanced in his course against the freedom of the people, till his last act of the re-establishment of the Censorship of the Press destroyed the best` however,:nd i s , t a i p r e p: tection of their rights. The intelligence of the age in which we live is, .posed to any measures which stop the diffusion of knowledge on any subject, and it is as im possible , to, oppose the growing desire for it, whether' with respect: to the Conduct of 'our Rulers, or on any other pcint towards which the taste or genius of the people may turn, as it is to stop the sun in its coUrse. VILLELE has set himself against this stream, and wine inundated by its current.' It' is in vain for him to 'Strive against it ;' and the very acts which he has had recourse to, will' only ultimately render / the torrent against him more resistless, and More tremen dous in its consequences. His recent creation of an enormous number, of Peers—a measure probably resorted to' for the double object of serving his present' purpose, and striking a deadly blow at the Aristocracy of . France, has only excited the indignation of both orders in France ; and the very persons whom he has called from insignificance to the station of Peers, wilhprobably:be..amongSt the first who . . will turn against the . Minister, who has ,diare• garded the most valuable privileges of civilized man. The middling'Class of persons, in whom the Elective Franchise in France is principally vestecti-liave..shulam a noble .resolution to shake off the ehailA which were attempted to be thrown over them, and by . a simultaneons,effort in. every part o f.th e ,Icingdom; ; have given proofs of the general good sense of the nation, and the mi versality of the desire to be allowed that degree of rational liberty, which in theory is consistent • With reason, and ;di practice, as demonstrated by the example of this country, is found to be both conducive to the happiness of the people and the security of the Throne. The people of France have Only to pursue the course they have com menced, and they cannot fail to become a free as well as . ..a great nation: The Lady MaryPelhanz'paeket has arrived with a Nediterranean mail,, but the letters by-her from -Corfu and Malta are of very old date, as she sailed from Corfu on the 19th, Sept., and from Malta on the 29th of that month. She left Gibraltar on the 4th inst. . .. addition to instances mentioned in a former article it may he stated, that the shocks were diStinctly felt by the in habitants in their honses in Smith's-square, which is three streets off, the inhabitants observing drawers, bookcases, Scc. shaken as if by the shock of an earthquake.

RIO DE JANEIRO The number of ~the 22d of Sept., gives an official dis patch from Monte-Video of the SOth of August, announcing _ . the arrival in that port of the brig Anna, belonging Buenos-Ayres, which had been captured, with 27 officers, and 57 soldiers and sailors, on board. _ _ SEPT. 24.—The Emperor, in considering the vast ex pence, of the war, has given the amount of one month of his civil list for the payment of the troops by sea and land ; and while the war continues, orders that the amount of one half of his civil list shall he paid into the Exchequer, as a loan without interest : and his Majesty has ordered that a particular account shall be opened, to enter the contribu tions of all persons who shall imitate his patriotic example, and whose names shall he published. SETT. 27.—0 n the 25th instant, the frigate Paula arrived with 55 prisoners of the Buenos Ayres cutter, the Rapid, taken by that frigate, to the south of Rio Grande. On the same day arrived the Forte, English frigate, with fourteen prisoners of the pirate, the Convencao Argentina, which it had captured. _ _ _ SEPT. 29.-:-'ihe Diario contains the official publication of the Treaty between Great Britain, relative to the Slave Trade. By the first article, the subjects of Brazil shall be prohibited (after the expiration of three years of the exchange of the ratifications) from carrying on the slave trade on the coast of Africa, under any pretext whatsoever ; and the continuation of such traffic, by any subject of his Imperial Majesty, after the expiration of that period, shall be considered and punished as piracy. The second Article adopts, as if they were inserted, word for word, all the articles and regulations of the treaties between Great Britain and Portugal, on this sub ject, of Jan. 22, 1815, and July 28, 1817, and the expla natory articles added to them. The ratifications to be ex changed at London within four months, or sooner if pos eible.-.:Dated Nov. 23, 1826. BUENOS AYRES. (From the Cronica Politica y Lrteraria.) AUG. 28.—Don Manuel IL de Aguire has declined, on the ground of ill health, the office of Minister of Finance, the Government has appointed Don Jose Maria Rojas in his stead. It seems that the General-in-Chief Lavalleja, before he joins the army, thinks of visiting the departments; the General has published an amnesty to deserters who retura to their duty. SviT. S.—For the purpose of entirely putting an end to the differencs between the provinces-Ofthe interior, the Government has named Commissioners, who shall endea vour to effect this desirable object, viz. :.—Don Pedro Vedal to Santa Fe, Entre Rios, and Corrientes ; Don Juan Cruz Vargas to San Juan, San Luiz, and Mendoza; Don Juan Antonio Medina to Santiago del Estero and Tucu man ; and Don Alejando Heredia to La Rioja, Catamarca, and Salta. Savv. s.—Yesterday evening two schooners, taken by General Brown, arrived here. The Estrella del Sur (not the Triunfo Argentina as reported) has been taken by the enemy off the Rio Grande. SEPT. 6.—The Government, to prevent abuses, has de creed that no letters of marque shall be given to vessels of less than 25 tons burthen. Great depredations have been committed in the river by smaller vessels. SEPT. '7.—The Government of the province has ordered each of the Ministers to deliver, as soon as possible, an esti mate of the expellees of their respective departments, taking for a basis the estimate of 1516, with the alterations required by the present state of things. The few private letters which have arrived by the Lord Melville packet from - , Rio Janeiro, state that the trade of that Capital) remained without any material alteration. The exchange: had risen to 322-d. a 33d. per Milrea. The advices, which have.,come to hand from Buenos- Ayres represent mercantile affairs in rather a more favourable point of view ; the exchange, which ww, lid. per current dollar when the pOile packet sailed, - is now quoted at 13d. and an expreSsion of more confidence in the resources of the State is'generally mentioned. We are also happy to observe an opinion that the. war was not likely to last long,in consequence of the Emperor of BRAZIL hating come to more reasonable terms of peace, the basis of which had been proposed I,io United Provinces, that the Banda Oriental should be independent of both the Belligerents. The following letter from the Agent to the North and Smith American Coffee house has been received this inorning . . • BUENOS' A TRE7, sm. 9. Annexedfare the arrivals ,And tailings, by which you will see what ,a farce the blockade. of our port has become. The Government Of Buenos AYree . . seem resolved to, continue the war : they have lately obtained a loan 03,000,000 of dollars from the native and foreign merchants. This sum will provide the ways and means to carry on the war for another year, xvithout any extraordinary contributions or taxation. Doubloons have been at 75 paper dollars : they have fallen to 61 upon the rumoursof negociation of peace. Almost every article which constitutes the necessaries or luxuries of life are at a high price, yet the great body of the people express no wish for peace; at least, what they conceive a dishonourable one. It is natural that strangers should imbibe a different feeling—the stagnation of business and depreciation of paper money fills them with alarm. The natives accuse then with indulging in gloomy forebodings. 1 forbear to write at length upon this subject, nnil can only' again as sure you that Buenos Ayres is not so distressed by the war as some would paint her. We have several vessels in the inner roads, taking in cargoes. Eritisli brig Florida, Captain Hastings, ditto schoorierlirig Liberator, Capt. IVGliesben, will sail for I.,ondon'in'a , a3ut ten days, with hides. The American ship Governor .Tenliins will sail with the . first fair wind, with salt beef, for the Ilavannah. The blockading squadron consists of the same number of vessels 'as mentioned in my hist. The Buenos Ayrean squadron, from Patagonia, con sisting of two corvettes and two schooners, have sailed for the coast of Brazil. Admiral )drown has a squadron of 1,2 schooners off the Island of-Martin Garcia, from Aitieli placebo often takes a cruise down the river. In my opinion this war will Soon close. We hear from tolerable authority that the Emperor o f Brazil is inclined to listen to reasonable terms, or rather, to those proposed by this Government, viz. taking as a basis the Banda Oriental to be independent of both belli. gerents. The following are the arrivals and sailings from Aug. 28 : 'A tic. 30.—Arri'ved the Tuscan schooner brig, from Monte Video. • , SFr-r. 2..—Arrived the schooner privateer General Brown, from Salado. 3.—Arrived a prize zumaca, from Santa Anna, also the Hermoise Luiza, both taken by three schooners of war under Admiral Brown, near Colonia. 7.—Arrived two zumacas, from the Salado, taken by the Rapid privateer, off Rio GzPode ; and the Sardigiatt brig Nmeeva Genova, front Gibraltar and Rio Janeiro.

RIGA Tke Emperor arrived here on Tuesday evening, a n d staid till yesterday evening. You may imagine what ani mation- his Majesty's visit has given our city. This was especially the case the day before yesterday, when a courier arrived while the Emperor was at dinner, with news that Erivan was taken by our troops, and that four standards and other trophies had fallen into our hands. He brought these with him, and the Emperor attended " Te Deum" in the open air. The standards and trophies were paraded through the town by the Burgher-guard, and, in short, it was a holiday for the inhabitants. _ _ BERLIN, NOV. I'7. By a resolution of the Emperor of Russia, the University of Abo is to be removed to Helsingfors, and to be called " Alexander's University in Finland."

An honourable tribute of respect to the me mory of Sir THOMAS MUNRO, late Governor of Madras, was yesterday paid by the Court of Directors of the East India Company, in unani mously passing the following Resolution : " At a Court of Directors held on Wednesday, the 28th of November, 1827, " Resolved unanimously, That this Court has learned with feelings of the deepest concern, the decease of Major- General Sir Thomas Munro, K.C.8., late Governor of Fort St. George, and its regret is peculiarly excited by the lamented event having occurred at a moment when that distinguished officer was on the point of returning to his native land in the enjoyment of his well-earned honours, after a long and valuable life, which had been devoted to the interests of the Company and his country. " That this Court cannot fail to bear in mind the zeal and devotion manifested by Sir Thomas Munro, in retain ing charge of the Government of Madras, after he had in timated his wish to retire therefrom, and at a period when the political state of India rendered the discharge of the duties of that high and honourable station peculiarly ardu ous and important; and this Court desires to record tl.is expression of its warmest regard for the memory of its late valuable servant, and to assure his surviving family, that it deeply sympathizes in the gri4 which so unexpected an event must have occasioned to teem." Sir THOMAS IVIUNRo's services and character are so well known, that it is unnecessary here to 'pass any eulogium upon them. He was alike respected as the Soldier and the Governor. This meritorious and faithful servant of the East India Company fell a victim to the Cholera Morbus, on the 6th of July last, at Puttercoodah, near Gootz, after only two hours' illness.
