~• - • ROBERT TAYLOR, THE BLASPHEMER. _ TO THE EDITOR. Bath, Nov. 3, 1827. _ _ SlR—Although the speech delivered by Mr. Taylor, in his defence, during his recent trial, sufficiently indicates that he is suffering under the greatest of all calamities, that of mental derange ment ; there are, I fear, many Weak and wicked persons who will he disposed to give credit to his assertions, and to believe the accusations he has i t brought against the Christian Church, its Mi nisters in general, and more particularly against the Prelate, whoever he was, from whom he re ceived ordination. However averse I feel to the publication of a letter addressed to me in confidence, I consider that I am bound in duty to the Church, to So ciety, and in pity to the unhappy writer, to assist in removing any doubt that may exist as to his insanity, and I hope that I may, at the same time, be the means of averting the punishment which he Would otherwise merit. Mr. Taylor is naturally a mild, amiable, and inoffensive character, but is evidently suffering under that species of insanity unusually denomi nated hallucination of mind, a disease which manifests itself in a derangement of the intellects on one particularsubject, and yet leaves the patient capable of reasoning correctly on other occasions. I trust that this letter may avail in excusing the errors of this 'Unfortun'ate young man, and in undeceiving those unhappy persons who have . been deluded by his wild and visionary discourses. I AM, Sir, your' obedient Servant, G. SODOR AND MANN. To the LORD BISHOP of SODOR and MANN. MY LORD—While irresistible feelings of gra titittle are my only inducement for obtruding myself on your Lordship's recollection, I cannot do so, hut under the contr'ul of some apprehensions lest this I:berry should fall into other hands than those of the individual whom alone I wish entirely to understand its purport. Nor can even my conviction of his pe culiar liberality , subdue my sense of the great distance in character, in ability, and station, from which an nnpreferred Clergyman of the Church of England ad dresses one of its Bishops. " I can only propose to myself, in this boldness, the satisfaction of doing a duty; the pleasure of which :rises from a consciousness of having given expression, however inadequate, to grateful feelings: Of relieving human nature in your Lordship's judg recut from the odium of seeming inaccessible to the force of reason, and insensible to condescension. 31-y Lord, that poor Mr. Taylor, whose visit you so graciously received at Bishop's Court a little more than a year and a half agc, is solicitous to tell you that he feels unapeakaOy obliged that your reason ings on the most important of all subjects, though ilot at that time felt with their due weight, pranced an indelible impression, and have, by time, by subse /lona reflection, and the Divine Blessing, wrought xheme.elees into the most entire and comfortable con viction, and become, I trust, the last complexion and eharacterof my mind. But more especially am I bound to bless both God and you, that in the last conver sation with .which you honoured me at Douglas, your mild remonstrances reclaimed me from the fatal sway of a melancholy mind; that to your Lordship i.lawe that I did not leave the Isle of Mann in the ;horrible character of an. avowed advocate and de fender of suicide; but itr the same public print in which the effusion of my melancholy had appear ed, under the s:gnature of " ACASTO," I, within a weeis or a fortnight, recorded my strongest protest apinst it. I hub, I hope in Clod, that my follies have not produced an effect bey` lad what recantation and re pentance ma y re t r ieve. S. hope is a source of cheerfulness and serenity for which I am bound, again and again, to thank your Lordship's most ef tietual reproof. I perceive, indeed , what y ou so kindly endeavoured to impress upon me, that even in bur'reasenings we are wonderfully the creatures o 1 our phys:_nial constitutions. In my present ease Of circumstances, - awl kealth of body and mind, which has continued now a long whit e , I wonder how I mild have reasoned as I did, when I Will SO trOtible. !Owe to you 11 Accept, my Lord, this poor expression of my feelings, and condescend to believe him to whom you have been so truly a benefactor, to be, with the moat earnest and entire respect, " Your Lordship's obliged servant, " ROBERT TAYLOR." Rathfarabam, Dublin, June 16, 1822." THE MAii.Ltiliß'S COMPASS. The attractive property of the load-stone has - t - ,e4a known ft: all aves. Thies, surprised with so constant an tact, ascribed to it a soul. Plate, Aristotle, and Pliny, have each made znention of this attraction, but n Jither they, nor any other, down to the eleventh eentutT,- Or ev e n to the beginning of the twelfth, knew that the load-stone, suspended, or floating on the water, by means of a piece of cork, always turned one and the same point towards the north. These two properties, of attracting iron, and turning towards the north, being known, some virtuosi repeated the experiments, by floating, in z vessel of water, a piece of iron and a load-stone upon corks, that they might meet with no ob !t.taxle they observed that when the piece of iron was rubbed upon the load-stone, it acquired the nature of turning to the north, and of at tracting, as load-stones did, needles and small p i eces o f iron. From one experiment to anothebyr they came to the laying a needle touched the load-stone on two bits of straw upon water, CYhich they observed constantly turned to the north. these were in. a fair way to the grand diaco - , - ery. but had not yet attained to the know ledge of what is called the compass.. But this experiment being at last applied to navigation, a post of the awellth century acquaints us, that the ,French pilots wade use of a needle rubbed upon a load -stone, which they called la marinette.— soon after; instead of floating these needles upon the surface of the water, upon straw or cork., which the motion of the ship agitated too ;much, an intelligent mariner thought of sus 'entiinv the needle exactly in its centre, upon an that it might have full liberty • irnln Dyeablec' to play an d tur n towards the Pole. Another i n the fourteenth century, thought of w h o yi r i k ,g ma o rt, ver need l e a very light circle of the four cardinal points, pasteboard, on which? and the c principal winds, , were marked out, and the wholee cirle divided into ,•30 degrees of the horizon. The little machine suspendd in a box, which box itself was hung pretty nearly like the mariner's lamps, answered the hopes of the inventor, for, however the ship might change its situation, the needle always 'faithfully turning to tb•? north, distinguished on the pasteboard by a flower de lace, and the other points of the wind marked as aforesaid, pointed out the course that was held, and the yomis they were to guard against. Thus, at last, the mariner's compass was invented ; but after such a manner, that it is hard to decide by whom or in what nation. Yet this is certain, the Eng lish may justly lay claim to the honour of hay ing brought it to perfection, by the manner of mispending the box which holds the needle.- - They say in their favour, that the names which - the compass bears were received from them h) all other nations, at the tirae.that they commie' grated the compass to them brought to a cont . -,,;,dius form ; that it is called the Sea Com. pass, or Circle of Mariners, from the two English words, Mariner's Compass ; and from the English word box, the Italians have made their " hossola;" a s they change the name of Alexander to Alexandra. Others endeavour to give the honour of this invention to the Chinese, hut as to this very day they float their needle on a cork, it is without any just foundation.—Notes of a Bookworm. THE NATIONAL BANK. The project for the establishment of a new National Bank has now assumed a definite shape, and a plan of proceeding, the result of mature deliberation, has been laid down. As far as our inquiries have gone, it has not received any sanc tion or direct encouragement from Government, neither can any of the great capitalists and bankers, whose names have been circulated in connexion with it, be said to stand at all com mitted as sharers in the undertaking. With the caution which the events of the two last years have strongly impressed upon all men of pro perty, they are disposed to consider, and re-con sider, for a long time before they decide. The prospectus of the establishment, with the last im provements and emendations which have taken place in it, is to be submitted to its patrons in the course of the present week, when it will pro bably be determined whether it shall be allowed to try the chances of its receptiou with the bank ing interest. Meantime, as the proposed corn ' petition with so powerful an antagonist as the Bank of England is calculated to give a degree of importance to the project, whatever may be its ultimate success, some details of it may prove not uninteresting at the present moment, though we wish it to be understood that by giving them 'publicity we do not at all pledge ourselves to any approbation of them. Its chief object, as stated by the projectors, is to give a solid provincial currency to the country of an unquestionable nature, and to stand in fact in the same relation to the country bankers that the Bank of England does to the London bankers. In pursuit of this object, it is proposed to discou rage every species of speculation and over-trading, and to regulate its operations by the legitimate wants of the country, and the solidity of the par i ties with whom business is transacted. A general appeal is to be made by the projec tors of this undertaking to the proprietors of country banks, and arguments are to be adduced to them to show that it is their interest, not only to become &haters in it, but to appropriate the whole of it to their body. The notes of the new national bank are intended, if possible, to be sub stituted for those of the various country banks, and it is calculated that, taking into the account the charges incurred by the country bankers, for stamps, paper, and printing,—not to mention losses by forgery,—the national hank will be able to supply them with a currency cheaper than their own. In regard to security from the country bankers, it is proposed to accept that description of it which it will not be inconvenient to them to part with, preventing thus any impediment to their business, and affording, at the same time, due protection to the Bank and to the public. There is one principle laid down in the origi nal draught of the project,, which, if rigidly ad hered to, will form its best feature. Its authors are fully aware what powerful means are already in existence, through the Bank of England, the joint stock banks, the country banks, and the branches of the Bank of England, for the creation and circulation of paper, and of the convulsion which public credit may at no ♦ery distant period suffer from that cause. They therefore come to the conclusion that it is particularly incumbent on Own not to do anything to increase its quan tity, and that, therefore, no notes of the national bank ought to be issued, except to supply the place of others withdrawn from circulation. it is proposed further to publish monthly an account of all the notes in circulation issued by the national bank. The co-operation in this plan of the whole of i the London and country bankers is distinctly aimed at, and stated to he one of its most im portant features. Much argument is therefore devoted to the proof, how materially their respec tive interests are at variance with the monopoly of the Bank of England, and more particularly with the mode in which the business of that corporation is now conducted. Some facts are also adduced to show the incompetency of the. Banff: Directors, not one of whom has been edu catO to the banking business, to manage its affairs keing a pecuniary crisis. As a com mercial bank, owing to the connection with the Government, the Ilank of England is broadly stated to be wholly useie<s to the community ; and it is affirmed that during the crisis of 1825, so ignorant were the Di-ectors of the state of mercantile credit, thar they uniformly discounted the worst, and rejected the best paper. The capital required for this undertaking by its projectors is fixed at 5,000,000/. sterling ; but on that and the proposed means by which it is to be turned to a profitable account, it is un necessary at present to enter. There is far from being any general expectation, even among those who have had the detail:. of the plan submitted to them. that it will he favourably received by those to whom it is addressed, and whose in terests it i more immediately intended to pro, mote. With the public at large, if it should he tendered to them after its rejection by the banking interest, there is ohytously still less chance of success, since the very announcement of a Joint Stock Company, with a capital of 5,000,000/., whatever its pretensions, can only have the effect at the present moment of making men instinctively draw their purse-strings closer, - - SWEARING-IN O THE NEW LORD CHAN CELLOR.—Yestertlay being appointed for swearing into office Sir ANTHONY HART, as Lord Chancellor, his Ex cellency the Lord-Lieutenant, attended by the usual mili tary escort, arrived at the Castle, at half-past three o'clock, from the Phcenix-park, where the ceremony had originally 'wen appointed to take place. The new Lord Chancellor having arrived some time previously, his Excellency im mediately proceeded to perform the ceremony in his private closet, and, contrary to the invariable custom on such oc- • easions, nut in the Council-chamber. About twenty persons, including the necessary Law Officers, and some of the Members of his Excellency's household, were present at the ceremonial s Previously to his Lordship's proceed ing to Court, to take hi: seat on the bench this day, being the first sitting day at Michaelmas Term, be will, it is understood, hold a levee at 13turox's Motel, Sackville street, where he is staving at present, for the purpose of receiving their Lordship. the Judges, the Law-Officers, rod such members of the Bar as wish for presentation. — Dublin - .Morning Post.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday, Nov. 6.) CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 10.—On the 4th of this month, the Mewlud, or anniversary of the birth-day of the Prophet, was celebrated in a solemn manner by the Sultan, who went in grand procession with the Court to the Mosque of Sultan Achmed 1., amidst a great concourse of people. At the beginning of this month an Envoy from the Khan of Bucharia arrived here, who came to re new the homage of his master to the Sultan, and to bring him presents as successor of the Caliphs. — Austrian Observer. It is related here, that Ibrahim has promised the European Admirals only to slacken his operations a little till he should receive fresh instructions from Constantinople or from Alexandria. When we con sider, on the one hand, the outward conduct of the Porte, we must believe that it has given orders to Ibrahim not to suffer any thing to stop him; but that if, on the other hand, we pay attention to the visible embarrassment of the great men of the Em pire, since the public is assured that the treaty of London is not an empty menace, we must suppose that Ibrahim will have received orders to act in the most suitable manner without embarrasaing the Porte. It is said also that the Porte has been in formed not only by Ibrahim, of his interview with the two Admirals, but also by Mr. Stratford Can ning, who took advantage of the opportunity to re new the proposals of mediation. Coma Guilleminot is said to have made, through his dragoman, a simi lar proposal to the Reis Effendi. We learn from the Archipelago that the Greeks are preparing an expedition against Scio; this creates the greater surprise, as copies of the act are shown here, by which the committee of Goverment has accepted the armistice afforded by the allies. In consequence of an article of the convention of Akirman, which refers to the treaty of Bucharest, two commissioners, one for Russia, the other for Turkey, are gone to regulate some rectifications of the frontiers. It is said that M. Miuziacky, the Consul-General at Bucharest, intends to go to Jassy on some business connected with his office.— A ugsburgh Gazette. BUCHAREST, OCT. 15.—Nothing decisive from Constantinople. The movements of troops in Bessarabia, which are little regarded here, have pro duced such a sensation at Jassy, that the Hospodar of Moldavia has applied to M. Miuziacky for infor mation on the subject. The latter is said to have answered him, that circumstances rendered these movements necessary, but that the Russians would not pass the Pruth, unless the Turks should them selves enter the principalities. The Boyards of Moldavia seem much to contribute to disseminate all sorts of alarming reports.—Augsburgh Gazette. PARIS, Nov. s.—Three three-deckers have been launched this year at Cherbourg, where several fri gates and large steam-boats are now building. There are now on the stocks at Cherbourg, two three deckers, and two of 100 guns, with two decks. (From the Constitutionnel.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) MADRID, OCT. 25.—The Queen entered Madrid on the 23d; on the morning of the 24th she quitted it for Valencia, escorted merely by a small detach ment of the body guard and Royal Carabineers. The Princes continue at the Escurial, whence they will not come to Madrid till the sth of November. The Infant Don Francisco de Paulo has hired a box at the Prince's Theatre for three months, hi order to be present at the Italian Opera, and another box at another theatre. Ages have passed since boxes have been hired by Princes here. The following is a literal copy of the famous de cree of which I spoke in my last letter; it is ad dressed to M. Salazar, President of the Council of Ministers, who has communicated it to his col leagues. This decree is thus expressed : " His Excellency the Secretary of State for the Department of Grace and Justice has written to me from Tarragona as follows, under date of the 15th instant, in a secret manner for my guide, and in order that it might take proper measures for the execution thereof. " The little zeal displayed for some time past in the purification of the Officers and servants employed under the Constitutional Government, has been the reason that, to the great scandal of the nation, many persons have been re-established in their posts, or in others still more important, who openly acted under the'said Government, and who pursued a revolu tionary course towards the loyal and faithful servants of the King. His Majesty, desirous, of remedying this evil, which irritates the minds of those who suf fered during the disastrous epoch of the Constitu tion, and which occasioned other inconveniences of a very serious kind, has determined that in future no individual, who in the first instance shall be de clared impurifiable, shall ever be employed ; and that those persons who, being found impurifiable in the first instance, and have been purified in the se cond, shall have been reinstated in , their former offices, or shall have obtained others, be sought out and removed. " By order of the King, and in a secret planner, I communicate to you this for your guide, and in or der that you may take the proper measures for car rying it into execution. (Signed) " CALOM.ARDE. " I impart this for your information, in so far as concerns your department. (Signed) " Madrid, Oct. 22. " L. M. SALAZAR." Notwithstanding what I said in my last, the Mi nisters resolved to send this decree into the pro vinces; but they have subjoined to it instructions which tend to stay its execution till the receipt of the reply to the representation which they sent to the King at Tarragona. The day before yesterday the garrison of Madrid was all night under arms, without any person know ing the reason; the only cause to which it is attri buted is, that the reports which the police received ' from the province of La Mancha some days back were very alarming; and it is certain that the Go vernment dreads a general explosion in this,province in favour of the insargents of Catalonia. Yesterday there arrived at the office of Grace and Justice, a circular from M. Calomardc, directing all the tribunals and justices of the kingdom to put in execution the decrees against' those individuals who have belonged to secret societies, and who did not denounce themselves; in other words, they are re quired to arrest such persons, in order that they may be tried and condemned to death, The canons Perez and Bonitens, who are both members of the junta charged with the examination of the archives of the late secret societies, with the denunciation of persons who shall appeal from the papers found hi these archives to have belonged to such societies, received an order yesterday to leave Madrid immediately, and pr oceed t o th e i r churches. They have accordingly depa r t ed. T he se two ca nons, one of whom, Perez, had been sent on a com mission into Catalonia, by M. Recacho, to discover the origin of the troubles in that province, are gene rally reputed to be moderate men, (EXTRACT OF ANOTHER TRIVATE LETTER.) M. de Ballast eros, who is out of danger, after having received lately extreme unction, has sent in his resignation; but it is supposed that it will not yet be accepted. Meanwhile, M. de Salazar has the portefeuille of the finances until the perfect recovery of M. de Ballasteros. The English legation has been, ever since the 16th of this month, in constant communication with the King; they dispatched to his Majesty a messenger the day before yesterday. General Cisneros, who was expelled from Barce lona on suspicion of communicating with the rebels, l ed who received orders to go to Seville, embarked on board a vessel which put into Carthagena, lie succeeded in escaping. and arrived clandestinely. at 7" -4 4111 4 ,7 • LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1827. We received last night the Paris Papers of Monday, and the Gazette de France dated Tues day morning; and by a second express this morning the Moniteur and other Papers of Tuesday. The official part of the Moniteur contains the Royal Ordinance for dissolving the Chamber of Deputies, and convoking the Elec toral Colleges throughout the kingdom. The Session of the Chambers for 1828 is to open on the sth of February next. Other Ordinances designate the towns in which the Electoral Colle ges are to be assembled, r evoke the O r di nances re l a tive to the C ens o r ship of the Press, and create 76 new Peers. The other Papers of Tuesday contain no news : as no Course of Exchange was received with these papers, we do not yet know the prices of the Funds after the appearance of the Ordinances. The Papers of Monday contain further intelli gence from Constantinople of the date of the 10th ult., but it is all derived from the Augsburgh Gazette and other German Papers, and is so contradictory in its nature that no conclusion can be safely drawn from it. On the one hand it is surmised that the PORTE has given orders to IBRA HIM not to suffer any thing to stop him, while on the other it is stated that IBRAHIM will have received orders to act in the most suit able manner without embarrassing the PoRTE. Mr. STRATFORD CANNING and the French Ambassador are said to have renewed proposals of mediation, in communicating to the PORTE the interview which had taken place between the Admirals commanding the two squadrons and IBRAHIM, but the effect of this repetition of their former offers is not mentioned, and consequently we may infer that it had led to nothing. The Greeks are said to he preparing an ex pedition against Scio, to defeat which several vessels of war are fitting by the Turks. From Bucharest, it is stated, that the move ment of the Russian troops in Bessarabia has oc casioned much alarm at Jassy, but M. Mrs- ZIACKY, on application to him, had stated that the Russians would not cross the Pruth, unless the Turks should themselves enter the princi palities. The intelligence from Spain is of a nature to awaken fresh fears for the tranquillity of that un happy country. Madrid is in a state of alarm from the expectation of a general explosion in La Mancha, in favour of the rebels of Catalonia. The KING, through the medium of CALo mAnDE, who still taints with his presence and advice all his MAJESTY'S movements, has issued other decrees, re-establishing the Inquisition under such regulations as will render it better adapted to the punishment of political offences, and ordering the Tribunals to proceed capitally against all who ever belonged to Secret Societies and have not voluntarily acknowledged their error. Such doltish measures can only have the effect of rousing the whole country, and joining them in common cause against their weak and bigotted SOVEREIGN. We subjoin the price of the Funds, on Mon day, and have inserted extracts of the Papers in another column. PARIS, Nov. s.—Faxxcx Funds.—Five per Cents, 101 f. 65c. 70c. ; Three per Cents, 71f. 55c. 80c. ; Bank Actions, 2,000 f. 2,002 f. 50c. ; Rentes de Naples, 77f. 30c. 40c. Exchange on London.—One Month, 25f. 15c. money ; Three Months, 25f. money. Dutch Papers of the sth instant also reached us last night, from which we make the following extracts. The intelligence from Constantinople is of the same date, and nearly to the same effect as that which has reached us through the French Papers. One fact is mentioned which our mer chants will read with pleasure. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON, it appears is taking active measures against the Greek Pirates, and sending them as prisoners of war to Malta:— FRANKFORT, Nor. 2.—By the letters from Constan tinople of 10th October, it appears that the Divan was much embarrassed by the Armistice concluded by Ibrahim Parta.. The capital was, however, perfectly tranquil. The exercising of the new troops is continued with great activity, notwithstanding the advanced season, and generally in the presence of the Sultan ; there are also frequent reviews of cavalry in the environs of the city. An expedition is fitting out at Constantinople, which is to be composed of a corvette, six brigs, two schooners, and several smaller vessels and transports, which is to sail to Mitylene and Scio, under the command of Cholil Capudan, because news has been received that several Greek vessels are cruising near Scio, and in the Channel between that island and Tschesnil, in order to hinder the sending of re inforcements thither from the Continent, in which they have succeeded, and it is feared that they will not be con tent with a mere blockade, but that they have formed a project against Scio and Mitylene, which is said to have been contrived at Syra, and for the execution of which Colonel Fabvier and his regular troops have been sent for. The piracies of the Greeks daily increase. Admiral Codrington has directed the ships under his command to carry into Malta all Greek ships which shall venture to capture English merchantmen that have no contraband goods on board, such as ammunition and provisions for the Turks. The crews of these vessels are to be considered as prisoners of war. THE HAGUE, Nov. 2.—Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Orange, and their children, arrived here to-day. BRUSSELS, Nov. 3.—A letter from Ostend, of the Ist, says, that in the preceding night ,a hurricane from the North-west had caused the tide to rise to a very great height, viz. seven inches below the high flood of 1808, and 22 inches below that of 4th February, 1825. During the storm, two ships ran aground. The first was the Netherlands ship [Harmony, Captain Miller, from Dor drecht to Marennes, which is entirely gone to pieces ; the other, the English post-office packet the Eclipse, Captain Sherlock : the mail and the craw were saved, and it is hoped that the vessel may be got off. The Government of France appears to be making great exertions to recover its Navy, and to become again a formidable n ava l power . We have frequently alluded to the activity dis played in the dock-yards at Brest and Toulon in building ships of war ; and it will be seen by a paragraph in another column, from the French Papers, that the building of large ships has also been proceeded with in a very rapid manner at Cherbourg. No less than three three-deckers appear to have been launched at that arsenal during the present year ; and two other three-deckers, two ships of one hundred guns on two decks, several frigates, and large steam-boats, are now on the stocks there. This, of itself, is a sufficient answer to some observations which lately appeared in one of the papers, of the inutility of continuing to build ships of the largest classes in our dock-) ards, and imposes upon our Naval Administration the necessity of keeping pace with the Govern ment of France in the size, as well as number of new ships, in order that we may be prepared to maintain our naval superiority in the event of any alteration unhappily taking place in our pre sent amicable relations. It is impossible for us to pay too rigid an attention to this most important subject, on which die salvation of this Empire will depend in the occurrence of any future war. All the Powers of Europe are paying attention to their Nevi ° and the day may come when we may have to contend for the empire of the sea with the cot° bined fleets of different nations. To maintain the superiority of our Navy, 10 in number and force, ought therefore to be / paramount object over every other: no eV en44 ought to be spared to attain it : and the rece il measures of the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL'S It i ministration of naval affairs, inspire us with i ! utmost confidence that such will be his R (7 Highness's policy, and that every other 1 1011/ : will be used to promote the power, the skill, °, the spirit of the British Navy.

LISBON, OCT. 20.—1 n execution of the Decree of the Princess Regent, dated the 4th of this mouth, the Magistrates of this capital have terminated their inquiries relative to the events of the month of July last. It has been decided that there was no ground for continuing the criminal proceedings instituted against the Archbishop of Elvas, the Marquis de Fronteira, the Count da Cunha, the Count da Taipa, the Count de Ponte, all fire Peers of the realm. The Count de Fiealho ' Joaquim Rodrigues Leite, Commissary of War, &c. were-included in the de nunciatien which served as the basis of those judi cial inquiries. It is truly curious to see the names of the Marquis of Fronteira and the Counts de Taipa and de Ponte, figure on the list of persons accused of having taken part in those occurrences which preceded that of the 27th July, when the Count da Ponte, having displayed the character, thought him self immediately obliged to characterise as bands of rebels and anarchists the numerous meetin g s which took place to manifest the public grief on th e subject 1 of the dismissal of Gen. Saldanha. Those persons in confinement on the same account and the number of whom amounts, it is said, to more than a hundred persons, have been, at the same time, declared to be under accusation, and to be tried more at leisure, by the civil or military tribunals, ac cording to the station of the parties. This rigorous measure is to be applied to all the Editors of Papers, and to the Censors, who are still in prison. The ex cessive severity displayed towards the press and men of letters appears quite in character. A report is spread that Sir William A'Court is about to be created Marquis of Caldas da Rainha, in the same way as Marshal Beresford was named Marquis de Campo Mayor. The latter was made so for having fought in Portugal on the field of battle, and the former becomes Marquis for the suc cess he has gained in the Cabinet against the Con stitutional cause. It may be recollected that the de cree for the dismissal of Gen. Saldanha, which gave the last helping hand to the plan in progress, was signed at Caldas. DISSOLUTION of the FRENCH CHAMBERS.
