And it is here_ we must ad_ Mire the Wise and profound policy of the English Ministry. Powerful by her navy, Great Britain has no need of large and ',txanti Petisive armies. The whole of her military force scarcely a division of the Russian army, which is said to be t tl ., ea ttY 800,000 men. In this state of things, what does rigland liol do ?

The nglish Government knows well the advantage of her position, w hich it daily fortifies by the liberality of its acts and send rnellts she will enter the lists surrounded by an irresistible moral force, as the defender of civilization, and the representa tive of the liberties of the world." Co say s t h e C onstitutionnel—But whilst t h at lea Per declares that England and Russia are al ready at War, the Etoile asserts, that the peace of turope was never so secure.—(Thearticle was :nserted in our Paper of yesterday, and to that refer our Readers.) t rietween these two papers it might be difficult 4t dt'elde., did we not know that at present there it,er‘isll,a Possible object to be g ained by war s fur 13 far too late now for the Emperor of Russia (wet '. he ever so inclined) to attempt a crusade tli gai kt the liberal politics of the day.

Spain, poor tyish • -Every body knows what her KING eS ; that the Recognition of the American Governments was a mortal offence. We Pity that most noble and unhappy People, whose Govern . • toent wilfully shuts its eyes to that policy which is clear before it, and which alone could rescue her from the anarchy into. which she is plung ed. We may apply the words Our SAVIOUR, used in reference to Jerusalem, to this unhappy country 0 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest them which are , ent unto thee, how often would I have gathered the children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not ! behold your house is left unto you desolate." The other European Governments appear to be quiet ; as for England, if war is necessary for her security, she has so far recovered the ex hausted state in which the termination of the late war found her, as to leave no doubt of her capa bility to undertake one, but at the same time be it observed, the policy of England is es sentially peace, and to preserve it she would make some' sacrifices. It is peace alone that can give effect to her- new commercial regu lations and, proclaim abroad the sterling Value of her libe'ral and enlightened 'views of international policy. But whatever speculations we may in dulge in.on this topic, and without at all pretend ing to know the object or policy of the different Cabinets of Europe, one thing we are certain of, and that is—the best security for peace we have, amongst foreign nations, is first, the want of the sinews of war,—Money ! and secondly, the irre sistible moral force England has at her com mand, and which the Constitutionnel speaks of above. Among the extracts, which we subjoin, from the Paris Papers which arrived last night is a good exposure of the barefaced manner in which false hoods are fabricated by the Madrid Gazette, re specting the state of affairs in the new South American States : (From the Constitutionnel of Wednesday.) The Indicateur of. Bordeaux contains the following letter, which shows what degree of confidence is to be placed in the assertions of the official Gazette of the Spanish Government, which the Etoile is so eager to copy "St. Sebastian, March 19. " Having observed in the Madrid Gazelle of the 15th inst , that the Commandant of the Marine has thought fit to make use of my name in the dispatch which he has addressed to his Governument ; and as it is not probable that that Gazette would insert my answer, I have recourse to your Journal to inform its reader's that I have not given any news to the Commissioner of Marine at this port, either directly or through an inter preter, and that if I had been interrogated respecting the affairs of Peru, my answer would have been'diametrically opposite to that which this officer attributes to me in his di:Tat h. " I have the honour, &c. "JOHN M. SMITH, " Commanding the American schooner the General Jackson, of Baltimore." The article in the Madrid Gazette, of which Captain Smith complains, is in the following terms : " The Naval Commandant at. St. Sebastian has written, Un der date of the 41th of this month; to the Minister as follows:- - Sir—On the 9th of this month there arrived in this port f r om Baltimore, after a voyage o f 32 d ays, w i t h a cargo of sugar, cocoa, aad other articles for th e pl ace , t h e American schooner the General Jackson, who has brought the news (after those of Baltimore) that Bolivar, since his his late defeat, was pressed by 26,000 Royalist troops, and not in a' condition to escape them."—(Note of Constitutinnnel. ) (Front the Journal des Debats of Wednesday.) . MADRID, MARCH 17. Letters from Lisbon announce that the English are there forming vast magazines of provisions, which they assert to be destined for the supply of the English naval station in the Tagus, but which seem more fitted to be destined for some body of troops of the line than for the provision of ships of war. ( From the Courier Francais of Wednesday.) LISBON, MARCH 12. M. Pinheiro Ferreyra, who lhas refused the department for Foreign Affairs, will accompany, as is reported, M. Palmella to London. The maritime forces of Great Britain stationed at the mouth of the Tagus increases daily. Sir, Charles Stuart is expected to arrive at this capital every moment. The current report is, that a constitutional regime will be, established. Our inter course with Algiers is broken off, and without doubt, the Ca binet of St. James will interfere in this business, and offer our Cabinet its high and powerful protection. German Papers arrived this morning —The fol. lowing are their principal contents : SMYRNA, FED. 11. The Oriental Spectator of this date contains the following Article : " Napoli di Romania, Feb. I.—The rebel Chief Colocotroni, after losing his two sons, has come to this place with a safe con duct, and surrendered to the Greek Government, which has given him a term of 20 to 30 days, to prepare his justification. , The Greeks are extremely rejoiced at this unexpected event, because it puts an end to the civil war in the Morea ; and now in the time of danger the parties mnay,• perhaps, lay aside their differences for a season, in order if possible to avert the storm. Conduriotti, at the head of six or seven thousand men, has Marched to Patras, to blockade that fortress by land, while eight ships of war have seen sent to resume the blockade by sea. There is much sick ness here. The Greeks have received their pay out of the last loan, but the money was soon exhausted, so that all their hopes are now placed on the new loan to be negotiated by the De puties sent by Rngland. " Modon, January 24.—Eighteen transports laden with provision and ammunition have arrived here, so that we are now well provided. We keep up a constant correspond. ence with Coron, which, as well as Patras. has received similar supplies. Our garrison consists of between 6 and 700 men who enjoy good health, while sickness prevails in Napoli di Ro mania. Our garrison makes sallies from time to time, and get their supplies from the country, being constantly informed of what is passing. The Greeks, on the other hand, as often as they approach the town, immediately retreat on the firing of the first gun from the citadel. " Alexandria, Jan 21.—We are happily free from the plague in this city. Some transports laden with provisions and ammunition have sailed for Candia and the Morea. A ship of war belonging to our fleet has arrived here with the news that Ibrahim Pacha was on the point of sailing from Rhodes to Suda, in the isle of Candia, with all his remaining ships of war and transports. An Austrian ship has just arrived, and we learn from the Captain, that as it passed Rhodes no ships were to be seen in that harbour.—( Allgemeine Zeitung, March 26.) The only article of intelligence in the Lisbon Papers which arrived this morning is the fol lowing :-- LISBON, MARCH 11. His Excellency Conde de Porto Santo, Minister and Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs, arrived in this capital to-day from Madrid.—( Lisbon Gazette, Feb. 12.) It is reported that the Ru ss i an G overnment propose paying off' the R uss i an Five per Cent.

THE ANTIQUITY OF HERALDItY.-In a small work published in 1721, entitled " The British Compendium," or " Rudiments of Honour," is the following passage. We are sure it is new to our Readers:— " Abel, the second son of Adam, bore his father's coat civar. tered with that of his mother Eve, she being an heiress, viz, Gules and Argent ; and Joseph's coat was Party-per-Pale, Argent and Gules."

This testimonial to the important services of Mr. fins kisson will be highly honourable to the cha racter of the merchants of Liverpool, and will be the more acceptable to the Right Hon.

Several Journals have recently asserted that the use of vinegar in the treatment of hydrophobia is a specific remedy. It would be useless to repeat here the names of all those authors who have recommended its use upon such occa sions, to prove that the opinion entertained of its efficacy is by no means a lately adopted one. It is, nevertheless, certain, that its effects have been exaggerated in attributing to it the powers of an infallible specific. The following case, of the authenticity of which there is no doubt, deserves to be made known, as it proves the utility, to a certain degree, of this very simple means, and which has- moreover the auvantage of being almost always at hand. On the 15th of last June, at Boleme, in the arrondissement-of Meaux, a fannef's boy, age d 14, was bitten by a sporti ng d og , whichi animal had already bitten several dogs in the village. The wound is upon the wrist, and a few lines in extent. Eight hours after the accident, the boy was seen by D rs . C assan, f at h er and son, who enlarged the wound, and cauterized repeatedly with a red hot iron. There was afterwards placed upon the part affected a blister, the sup puration produced by which was kept up during a month: Until the commencement of August, the general health of the boy remained unaltered, he preserved his usual gaiety, and showed no inquietude as to the wound. But in the month of August a very visible change took place in his character, na turally mild. He became sombre, taciturn, indocile, and surly. On the 6th of August he complained of a painful weariness. On the morning of the 7th he was taken with nervous convul ,sions. He was unable to eat; but tre drank off a large glass of light cyder ; soon after the symptoms became more alarming: the patient asked again for drink, but on the liquor being brought near his mouth, he involuntarily r e p e ll e d i t , an d was immediately seized with a violent spasm in the muscles of the neck. .On the morning of the Bth the Messrs. Cassan were called in. They 'found the boy in a state of extreme anxiety, complaining of burning thirst, Ws breathing very difficult, and his pulse extremely irregular and rapid. • At the sight and even-at- the bare "mention of liquor he fell into the most terrible con vu l s i ons , accompanied with gnashing of the teeth. The conscientiousness he had of not being able to swallow liquids appeared to be the sole . cause of the augmen. tation of the nervous affection. Ills intellectual faculties were in no wise troubled, he submitted very willingly to the .exami. nation of his mouth. There were none of those pustules visible about the bridle of the tongue, which M..Marochetti and othe rs say. they have invariably discovered in similar cases, and upon which they look as a certain sign of the presence of hydrophobia. The cicatrice of the little wound was of a bird colour. Dr. Cassan convinced that the boy *as attacked with hydrophobia, resolved to try the effect of vinegar; they first moist ene d th e lips and tongu e o f th e p a ti ent with a linen rag, dipped in vine gar, but he was unable to bear more than two or three times this application.—They then gave him some soft bread satu rated with vinegar ; he succeeded in swallowing some mouth fuls, but the rest was rejected with incredible efforts. This crisis was only momentary, but immediately after the boy was taken with a continued ptytalism ; vinegar injections were then admini s t e r e d, an d i n t h e course of four hours he had taken a pound and a half of vinegar, diluted with three pounds of water. His pulse lost its rapidity, but became extremely hard. A transparent glass filled with limpid water was then placed before his eyes, but lie seemed to take no notice of it, until it was proposed to him to drink a spoonful. He swallowed some drops, which caused him a burning sen sation. Insensibly the deglutition became easier, and hopes were entertained of the happy effect of the vinegar, but in the absence of the physicians the patient was-allowed to drink repeatedly, and in large quantities, undiluted vinegar, at the same time that the vinegar injections were continued, so that in the space of five hours he had taken about two quarts of vinegar. As the ner vous symptoms diminished, those of an inflammation of the abdomen declared themselves, and the boy expired in a few hours afterwards. Though' the patient in this ease perished, it yet appears placed beyond a doubt, that the vinegar had contributed most powerfully to allay the nervous symptoms. The h orror o f li quids disappeared altogether, the faculty of deglutition was completely restored after the first doses of vinegar. it is then very much to be desired that a similar experiment should be often repeated, and with more care to avoid the acci dents resulting from the action of too great a quantity of thii acid upon the organs. And even should the application have no other effect than to allay and remove the horrible symptoms accompanying this disease, it must be considered as a signal service to humanity. For what is it that renders hydrophobia. so terrible ? It is not the almost inevitable mortality that attends it—mortality is incident to many other maladies i no, it is the series offrightful syMtoms.dreadful and inde scr ib a bl e agonies, that renders the unf'o'rtunate being afflicted with this most hideous of visitations an object of horror and alarrn.—( French Paper. ST. ANDRMV'S--The senior Greek class is in a state of insubordination at present. The Professor (ALEX ANDER) appears to have lost all controul over the students, and to be in extreme perplexity. All this, we are informed, springs from the rectorial dispute.—( Dundee Advertiser.) A meeting was held at Canterbury on Tues day, of the Clergy of the Diocese, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against the Catholic Claims. The Archdeacon, the Hon. and Rev. HUGLI PERCY, took the Chair. A Peti tition to both Houses of Parliament against any concess i on to the Catholics was agreed upon. The Meeting was b y no means numerous as compared with former occasions. —(Kent Herald.) The Commissioners for lighting a n d paving th e parish of St. George, Hanover-square, are at present employed in lowering the pavement from the Marquis of CholmonGeley's house in Piccadilly, as far as the Duke of D evons hi re ' s, to the extent of one foot at least, by which the rapid and dangerous descent, where so many accidents have occurred, will be got rid of. The street is to be paved with large stones, and- an abundance of good gravel. The Marquis of Cholmondeley, the Marquis of Hertford, Lord Coventry, Mr. Baring, and the Duke of Devonshire, would gladly have Macadamized the whole Street, but their suggestions were rejected by the majority of the vestry.

AGRICULTURAL REPOV FOR THE COUNTIES OF WORCESTER, STAB'. FORD, AND SALOP, FOR MARCH, 1825. We have experienced the finest seed time known for many years; the immense quantity of rain during the latter end of the year had left the land in a most unfortu. nate state, and a great portion was obliged to be left unculti vated ; but the Spring has been so dry and genial, that the seed business has gone on most prosperously. The Wheats are wonderfully improved in colour, and spread well on the ground ; they do not at present run too forward, but Strengthen considerably. Barley, Oats, and all other springseed have been got into the ground in fine condition; the soil works most kindly, and the fanner may again congratulate himself upoli the favourable prospect before him.—A considerable quantity of land is preparing for Mange' Wurzel; it seems likely to become a favourite root with the cattle farmers, its nutritious qualities eminently . fit it for the stall-fed beasts.--Sain:foin an Lucerne crops begin to put on their spring appearance z they ' are considerably advanced, and will be found extremely ser . viceable. It is highly gratifying to the friends of improved agriculture to see considerable quantities of land preparing for the sowing of these valuable plants, which, with good inanage ment, . will maintain three beasts on the same land, where the common grasses will only maintain one; this next month will be a busy one with the skilful fanner.—Carrots, Parsnips and Potatoes a:e being sown an d pl ante d to a great extent; the im proved state of the farmer in pocket and knowledge is making a rapid alteration in agriculture.—The Hop hills that are opened shew very well, the bine has not suffered from the whiter, but promises kindly.—Apple and Pear trees at present shew most abundant signs of a fine blossom".—There never was known a finer lambing season, nor one in which so few have died ; so that the loss experienced from the rot last year will . soon be forgotton. . CURIOUS COMPLAINT.-According to the an cient Hebrew law, no person can perform prayers in a Synagogue unless there be 10 male individual s p resent to f orm t h e audience. This law is conformed with even at the present day among the tribes of Israel sojourning in our land. Anti further; they are bound by a law of more ..modern . date, to refrain from ' partaking of any " fowl of the air, or beast of the &la," unless they shall have been killed by one of their own persuasion hear ing a special commission from the High Priest. Mr. 'Michael Jonas complained to the Magistrate, that the majority'of the. JeWs resident in this city had combined against him, in consequence of his holding a Synagogue in his own house, :consisting of nine individuals of, his own, family, and a Polander, the latter, to. make. the. quant:ax-ofhlcit of male heads ; and th a t they had, by this combinatibn, 'deprived him and his tribe, eighteen in nutolser„,,mal., and female,:` of flesh - meat for the last five wee'fs.-'- The majority of whom he complained, bad, rom;eiover, formed themselves into a society, opened a , public Sy nagogue, and engaged a Rabbi who was 'commissioned to kill for them. Mr. Hunter, the flesher, stated tnathe., had entered into a contract with " the majority" to furl* one carcase a week. They sent their own man to kill the beasts,. who marked and lotted-oat the joints prescribed by the olden lair to be eaten. Mr. Lee, the secretary of the. Socie!y, stated that there wo u ld b e - no o bj ec ti on to l et the complainer .have as much " chosen food" as as any other individual, .pro vided he would pay up all sums he was ,due to the aforesaid society, and =tribute his share towards the support of the Rabbi.
