FOREIGN. INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Journal des Debase.) An ordinance of the Prefect of Police, posted to day in Paris, fixed at 14 sous the price of the loaf of four pounds, which cost 13 sous the last fortnight. 'Many reasons are assigned.for this advance. In the first place, the harvest is not so abundant as was hoped for; then the waters have been shallow during the summer, and a large number of mills have been unable to work; and finally, this being the sowing season, the agriculturists do not wish to sell their corn. The death of Mr. Canning has considerably weakened the impression which his representations would have made /in the Porte, and it is only the operations of the squadrons united , in the Archipelago which can give them new force. The Turkish Chancery, which delivers passports to vessels, has suddenly refused them to those destined to the White Sea. It was stated that superior orders had been received on this point, but that it was hoped the passports would again be issued speedily. The prohibition applies to all flags. Two days after the Porte gave its negative answ er to the three Ministers, it w a s re p or t e d that it had presented them with a declaration very ably drawn up, in which it endeavoured to demonstrate the justice of its cause, and demanded a Congress at Vienna, whither it would send Ambassadors to treat of the affairs of Greece. It remarked, in conclusion, that it had, during two years, offered peace to the Greeks on more advantageous terms than those proposed by the three Powers, but its overtures had been rejected. " A firman has been issued, and read in all the mosques, which orders the Mussulmans to provide arms in their houses, but forbids them to appear armed in the streets.—Augsburgh Gazette. (From the Moniteur of Wednesday. ) " PARIta, OCT. B.—Letters from Bayonne, re ceived by express, say,' The chiefs of the Agraviados continue to submit to the King of Spain. Couriers and the ringing of bells announced, on all sides, this happy event. We may, in consequence, consider the revolt as appeased. ".Laura Garreto has just been arrested at Alava, with the remainder of. his band. Thus every thing is tranquil in the three provinces. " A letter from Madrid, dated the 13th, contains the following paragraphs . :— " The Queen is to set out about the beginning of N ov ember tor Valencia, whither the King will come to meet her. Their Majesties will go to Barcelona, where they will pass some time. It seems that they will afterwards make a tour through the north of Spain. A rich contractor, well known for the exagge ration of his opinions, has just been arrested at Madrid; he is accused of having supplied the rebels with funds. " The Captain-General of Valencia has destroyed the Lauda by which his province was infested." (From the °meta de -Francs, of Thursday.) PARIS, OCT. 17.—1 n a letter written in sight of Navarino, the 29th of September, we find the fol. lowil passage " This morning the Armide frigate, belonging to the French squadron and that of Admiral Codring ton, arrived, bringing despatches to M. de Rigny from Constantinople. It appears that the Sultan has not yet said either yes (or no to the proposals that have been made to him. However, it is be-1 lieved that an arrangement is not far off; mean' time, the French and the English areinitting a part of the treaty into execution by blockading:, in the port of Navarino, the combined squadron of the Sultan, the Paella of Egypt, and the Barbary States, composing, in all, A fleet of aboVe 120 sail. It is curious to see 20 English and French vessels op posed to forces apparently so formidable, which, however, would prove very easy prizes if they had come to blows. Their demonstrations, and the ad vanced state of the year, will not permit the Turks to undertake any thing by sea against the Greeks. The latter depending on the prudence of the Euro pean Powers, and their adherence to the armistice, are doing all they can to„obtain in the sequel more advantageous conditions. In consequence, they at tempt a lauding on Seio, another on Candle, and 30 sail are cruising off Navarino to intercept a convoy with provisions for Ibrahim's army, which is expect ' ed here from 'Egypt. The Russians, who are daily ) expected, do not come, nor have we any news of them." LANARKSHIRE ELECTION. (Abridged from the Edinburgh 'Weekly Chronicle.) On Tuesday, the freeholders of the County as sembled at Lanark, for the purpose of electing a Representative in the Commons' House of Parlia ment, in the room of the late Lord Archibald Hamilton. Having met in the County-hall, at twelve o'clock, where the writ of election was read, they adjourned to the parish church, the , body of which was almost immediately filled , by the freeholders, counsel, law agects, and others. The galleries were crowded to excess by the population of the town and neighbourhood, who appeared deeply interested in the result. Si J Amßs STRWART DIINIIADI, of Cotness, Bar t., as the last Parliamentary Representative of County present at the meeting, took the chair. .'The H on ourable CHARLES, second son of Lord Dimui.as, moved, that Mr. Campbell, of Blythswood, be appointed preses, and Mr..M‘Hardie, clerk of the meeting; which was seconded by Mr.. DICKSON, younger, of Kilbucko. This was met by a counter motion, by Mr. GRAY, of Cauxiden, that Sir' John Maxwell, of Pollock, Bart., be Appointed Proses, Mid Mr. M MlL glardie,_ clerk, which w as seconded by Mr. HATON, of Holmhead. Mr. M'Hardie was declared duly elected; and the rote being taken upon the Hon. Charles Douglas's motion, and that of Mr. Gray, for a Chairman, 62 voted for the former, and 68 for the latter. Sir J. S. Denham, in the Chair, having voted in the mi nority ; majority 6.. Sir John Maxwell then took the Chair. • On the result being announced, three tremen dously loud cheers were given 'from the gallery, which was mingled with no little hissing, Sir J. S. DENuAst moved, that the meeting elect , the Hon. Charles Douglas, as their Representative in Parliament, which was brief!' seconded by . npoNALD LOCKHART. Mr. MossmAK, of Auchtyfardel , referred to the enlightened principles, and upright and patriotic c onduct of their late and ßepresentati.e,upholding, as Sir Michael Shaw Stewart did , the same prin ciples, he m oved , t h at he be elected t o represent them in Parliament. The motion was seconded by Sir H. STEWART. The Hon. CHARLF 4 Doura.s.s then addressed the Meeting, and feelingly alluded to the assiduity and conscientious purity of their late lamented Represen tative. Should they elect him, he could assure them he would do his best to Promote the interests of the county. H e a ll u ded to a rumour which he could not believe, and could have wished the Hon. Baronet to have been present, were it only that he might have silenced it for ever. The rumour was, that he was destined to occupy the exalted situation only for a time, and then to give way wto Understand, n Honou rable and Gallant Admiral (meaning, e Admiral Fleming). As the Admiral was so much esteetveci by the county, he could wish to have the rumour distinctly contradicted, as some, impressed with a belief of its Nth, might he disposed to vote against him. The Honourable Gentleman sat down amid_tit loud cheering. _ - Joux S.

The French Papers of Wednesday, and , the Gazette de France dated Thursday morning, reached us last night. They do not bear out the reports in circulation, that intelligence from Constantinople to the 20th, or, as one' account stated, to the 29th September, had been received in Paris. , So far from it, there is "not a word in these Papers which implies that accounts later than the 17th had been received from Constan tinople ; unless, indeed, they were brought by the Armide, French frigate, to Admiral de RIGNY, off Navarino, and by him !Jent home by the courier, who brought his despatches to the French Government. The Gazette de France publishes a letter, written in sight of Navarino, .on the 29th, which mentions the arrival, that morning, of the frigate from Constantinople, but no date of her sailing from thence is given. It was understood, however, that the SULTAN, at the time of her departure had neither formally re jected nor accepted the proposals made to him; and the writer adds, that it is believed that an arrangement was not far off. This certainly may prove to be the case, but we doubt it, More particularly as we led,rn from a private letter, which we have received'from an officer of one of our ships blockading Navarino, that a squadron of Austrian men.;of-war, under flag-officer, was actually in that port with the Egyptian expedition, giving countenance,• and perhaps assistance, to their object. This circum stance goes far to establish the fact that AuStria has encouraged the Porte to resistance, and •it • does not seem very probable thatanythreat'or demonstration hitherto made by the. Allies should have the immediate effect of changing the whole policy and determination of the SULTAN and . his new Ally. Our letter goes on to state that our gallant Admiral was highly indignant at the conduct of the Austrian Admiral, and had made some communication to him with the view of preventing his interference. The well known spirited character of Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON led to a belief in the Squadron that he would ,capture or destroy the Austrian ships if they com mitted any act, in opposition to the Allied Powers ; and consequently the next advises from thence may contain intelligence of the highest importance. The Moniteur announces the receipt of in telligence from Spain of the continued submission of the Insurgents, and states that the Rebellion .may be considered as at an end.- Extracts of the French Papers are given in another column, and we subjoin the price of the Funds, which do not appear to have advanced • materially. FRENCH FUNDS, OCT. FL—Five per Cents. 101 f. 50c. ; Three ditto, '7lf. '7se. ; Bank Stock, 2005 f. 25e. ; 'Neapo litan, '76f. 80e. ; Royal Spanish Loan (1823), 61p. Exchange on London, one Month, 25f. 20e. ; at three Months, 20. 10e. • We have received this forenoon the Agge meine Zeitung of the 13th inst.,; it contains from Odessa and Bucharest a repetition of the reports which have • been already circulated through Europe of the disposition of the Porte on the 17th September to submit ; and private communications from that capital, also through Bucharest to the 20th Sept., which state that the Porte was beginning to show itself more compliant." No authentic intelligence, how ever, from that quarter, bad been received, and we must wait for the next arrival direct from Constantinople, for the decision of the question now become so interesting and important to all Europe. We subjoin some extracts : VIENNA, OCT. 8. The marri.ip of his Highness Prince Metternich with Lady Antoinette Yon Leykam has been officially made known here. His Majesty the Emperor has been gra ciously pleased to raise the Baroness Antoinette Von Ley kam 10 the wank of Countess of pawn; Iloya Highness the Duke of Lucca, with his consort, is expected here, from Dresden, in the course of this month, and may perhaps spend the winter here.—Metalliques, 911; Bank Shares, 1,080. ODESSA, SEPT. 29. According to merchants' letters from Constantinople, dated 20th September, the Sultan is reported to have given orders, by a Hatti Sheriff to - the Grand Vizir, " to convoke an extraordinary Divan, and to lay before it the proposals of pacification made by the three Powers, for the purpose of hearing its opinion, whether these proposals are not a mere pretext to endanger the entire existence of the Ottoman empire in Europe." Such is the account given by these merchants' letters. To us, however . , the whole statement appears to be greatly in need of confirma tion. Perhaps there is some quid pro quo here, and they allude to another Hatti Sheriff, addressed to the Divan, which exhorted the members to firmness. BUCHAUEST, SEPT. 22. Merchants' letters from Constantinople, of the 17t.1, relate that the Reis Effendi had sent for the Dragomans of the three legations, and conununicated to them an order of the Sultan to enter into negociations on the affairs of Greece. Though this news has been received by several respectable merchants here, we cannot give it implicit credit, because nothing of the kind has been made known through an official channel, which would surely be the case if any so important change had taken place. That the Porte, however, wishes fur an accommodation cannot he doubted, and is said to be affirmed by an English courier, Jlispatched from Constantinople to London, on the 17th, by the British Ambassador to the Porte, and who passed through this city some days ago. Meantime all that has been reported of warlike movements of the Russian army, on the Profit, or of other hostile indications in our country, is pure fiction. BUCHAREST, IIErT. 30. The latest letters received htlre from Constantinople, which are of the 20th of this month, affirm that the Porte was beginning to show itself more compliant. VIENNA, OCT. 7. Letters from Corfu, of 231 September, say—" In the night of the 20th arrived here the two Austrian ships of war the Enao corvette (now the Lipsia), commanded by Baron Sourdeau, and the Ariana schooner, Captain Gnoate ; they both came in 17 days from Smyrna, and set sail to-day for Trieste. They bring a confirmation of all that we have heard through other channels, respecting the Egyptian expedition and the English squadron. Lord Cochrane is reported to have been seen a few days ago, with about 20 sail, between Cephalonia and Missolonghi." The Oriental Spectator of Ist September contains a letter from one of its subscribers to the Editor, in reply to an article of the Greek Bee, published at Hydra, respect ing the mceedingi of the Austrian Commodore, Count Dandolo, to recover four Austrian merchantmen captured by the Greeks, and carried into Spezzia. The writer en ters into a long analysis of the article in the Bee, which, with the exception of the fact that the ships mere given up, he declares to be a tissue of exag geration and lideehood from beginning to end. The Oriental Spectator annexes to the letter of its Cor respondent some reflections on the conduct of the Sptzziot cruisers, and the right they assume to stop and search neutral ships at sea. " What," asks the Oriental Spectator, "is that Priee Court that was appointed at Napoli? What is its code, its maritime and commercial law, what security does it offer for the defence of the in terests upon which it is to decide? How can any man venture to speak of this tribunal, since a number of judg ments which we have in our hands, which we could pro duce, and which we will produce if required, furnish a .proof that this tribunal is nothing but a scandalous mockery, a cloak contrived to cover piracy? since most of their sen tences were not passed till the pirates had already unloaded at Hydra and Spezzia, and the cargoes, respecting the cap tote of which the Court was to decide, were irretrievably scattered and lost." The Austrian Observer remarks in a note to the abeve: —" Few of our readers, perhaps, know that the Oriental Spectator, whieh has been published since the Ist of July this year, has nothing in common with the Journal that appeared for some years under this title, except the name. The present Spectator is a highly interesting paper, written with much ability and great freedom, which may be placed, without hesitation, on a level with the best European Journals." - It is absolutely disgusting to read the trash which some of our cotemporaries admit into their columns, from those who avow themselves to have been ardent admirers of the late Mr. CANNING. His real friends and admirers regret that, under the mask of pretended attachment to the memory of that griran, persons are to be found weak enough ite, and newspapers careless enough to give publication to, the most absurd observa tions on the tribute of national respect which is about to be paid to his genius and public ser vices, by the erection of a Monument. A writer in the New Times of to-day, who signs himself " An Architect," states that many will withhold their contributions, if consecrated ground is to be the depository of the _proposed Monument ; that it was no honour to Mr. CAN- Nato's remains, that they were removed from Chiswick to Westminster Abbey ; and, that as Me had lived to become a MAN OS ANOTHER DISPENSATION THAN THE PRESENT, some spot of classical ground was the most suitable for his burial place." Not to allude to the dis regard which these observations imply to the custom hallowed by time and religion, to de posit the remains of all mortality in places con secrated as sacred to the purpose, this writer has shewn his utter ignorance of the fact, that Westminster Abbey is absolutely the most classic spot in the whole kingdom, from the accumulated remains of the learned, the wise, and the eloquent, which are deposited within its sacred walls. The most illustrious of our Statesmen, Orators,. Poets, Philosophers, and Divines here repose, as well as the Warriors, the Nobles, and the Princes of England; and if it were allowed to Mr. C ANNING to be conscious of where his remains were de posited, that spot would be most acceptable which his country has for so many ages devoted to the reception of her most distinguished sons. The association of ideas which that sacred place inspires to a mind properly framed, could never arise in viewing the tomb of Mr. CAN NING, had his remains been placed in a mau soleum in the garden of an Italian villa. Th e conclusion we naturally come to may be fore seen: if. Parliament does not vote the erection of a public Monument in. St. Paul's Cathedral, or in Westminster Abbey, to the memory of the most distinguished Statesman and Orator which it has inscribed amongst its rolls, then the Commit tee for erecting the Monument, have a plain and simple course, namely, to place it in the sacred pile which contains the remains. But if Parliament does that, which we are convinced it will do, at the public expence, then still we would recommend the Committee to erect their Monu ment in some other consecrated spot, rather than in the shady groves proposed by the Archi tect, however they may be rendered classic by the busts of Heathen Deities and fabulous Heroes, which adorn them, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DA%.)

After the Jury were sworn in this case, Mr. BROUGHAM said that this was an action for defa mation, brought by a gentleman who had been for twelve years in a commercial situation. He did not want da mages, th e v i n dic a tion of his character was his only ob ject ; if, therefore, the defendant authorized his Counsel to express his sorrow for having uttered the defamatory language, the plaintiff would consent to withdraw a juror. This offer not having been acceded to, Mr. ALexasox opened the pleadings. The declaration charged -the defendant with having called the plaintiff " a scoundrel and a villain." Mr. BROUGHAM stated the case, and called two wit nesses to prove it; neither of them, however, had ever heard the defendant say any thing disrespectful of the plaintiff. Lord Tstmcanitx diiected a nonsuit. STOCKS V. KINDAR. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, (With" whom were Mr. BaouomAat and Mr. Tosstinsots), stated that this was au action on a Bill of Exchange for 1,0001., and another fob• 500/., drawn by the plaintiff, a Manchester manufacturer, and accepted by the defendant, on account of consignments of goods made by the plaintiff, to the houses of Staples and Co., at Lima and Mexico, in which the' defendant was a partner. The bills having been proved in the usual way, Mr. DENMAN (with whom was Mr. PaaKE) contended That these must be considered accommodation bills, inasmuch as the goods, although received, had not been converted into money before the acceptances became due. LORD TENTERDEN expressed his opinion, that an ac ceptance was not, under these circumstances, to be consi dered an accommodation acceptance. , The accounts being complicated, the cause was then re ferred to Mr. Alderson.

The non-arrival of any Foreign or even a ship letter, from any quarter this morning, has caused a complete dearth of news in the City; but the con fident assurances which have already been received from so many quarters that' Turkish and Greek affairs will 'eventually be amic ably adjusted, has in fused a greater degree of spirit into the English Funds than they have exhibited for some time.

A great many foals were shown, and those of the very first description sold tolerably well ; hut others went slowly off, and at prices little more than half of w h a t they would ban brought last year. ~~~ ♦BRIDGED FROM Till LONDON WRJKLY REVIEW OF TIIIS MORNING, It was the day after the Doune Fair when my story commences. It had been a brisk market, several dealers had attended from the northern awl midland counties in England, and the English money had flown so merrily about as to gladden the hearts of the Highland farmers.— Many large droves were about to set off for England, under the protection of their owners, or of the topsmen whom they employed in the tedious, laborious, and respon sible office of driving the cattle for many hundred miles, from the market where they had been purchased, to the fields or farm-yards where they were to be fattened for the shambles. The Highlanders in particular are masters of this diffi cult trade of driving. which seems to suit them as well as the trade of war. It affords exercise for all their habits of patient endurance and active exertion. They are required to know perfectly the drove-roads, which lie over the wil dest tracts of the country, and to avoid as much as possible, the highways, which distress the feet of the bullocks, and the turnpikes which annoy the spirit of the . drover ; whereas on the broad green or grey track, which leads across the pathless moor, the herd not only move at ease and without taxation, but, if they mind their business, "may pick up a mauthful of food by the way. At night, the drovers usually sleep along with their cattle, let the weather be what it will ; and many of these hardy men do not once rest under a roof during a journey on foot from Lochaber to Lincolnshire. They are paid very highly, for the trust imposed is of the last importance, as it depends on their prudence, vigilance, and honesty, whether the cattle reach the final market in good order, and afford a profit to the grazier. But, as they maintain themselves at their own expense, they are especially economical in that particular. At the period we speak of, a Highland drover was victualled for his long and toilsome journey with a few !landfalls of oatmeal and two or three onions, renewed from time to time, and a ram's horn filled with whisky, which he used regularly, but sparingly, every night and morning. His dirk, or shene-dliu (i. e. black knife), so warn as to be concealed beneath the arm, or by the folds of the plaid, was his only weapon, excepting the cudgel with which he directed the movements of the cattle. A Highlander was never so happy as on these occasions. There was a variety in the whole journey which exercised the Celt's natural su tural curiosity and love of motion; there were the constant change of place and scene, the petty adventures incidental to the traffic, and the intercourse with the various farmers, graziers, and traders, intermingled with occasional merry makings, not the less acceptable to Donald that they were void of expellee ; and there was the consciousness of supe rior skill ; for the Highlander, a child amongst flocks, is a prince amongst herds, and his natural habits induce him to disdain the shepherd's slothful life, so that he feels him self nowhere more at home than when following a gallant throve of his country cattle in the character .of their guardian. Of the nuraberarho left Doune in the morning, and with the purpose we have described, not a Glunamie of them all cocked his bonnet more briskly, or gartered his tarten hose under knee over a pair of more promising spioys (legs),. than did Robin Oig M'Combich, called familiarly Robin Oig, that is Young, or the Lesser, Robin. Though small of stature, as the epithet Oig implies, and not very strongly limbed, lie was as light and alert as one of the deer of his mountains. He had an elasticity of step, which, in the course of a long march made many a stout fellow envy him ; and the manner in which he busked his plaid and adjusted his bon , net, argued a consciousness that so smart a John Highland man as himself would not pave unnoticed among the Lowland lasses). The ruddy cheek, red lips, and while teeth, set off a countenance which had gained by exposure to the wee-, ther, a healthful and hardy rather than a rugged hue. If Robin Oig did not laugh, or even smile.frequently, as in deed is not the practice among his countrymen, his bright eyes usually gleamed from under his bonnet with an ex pression of cheerfulness ready to be turned into mirth. The departure of Robin Oig was an incident in the little town, in and near which he had many friends male and female. He was a topping person in his way, transacted considerable business on hie own be half, and was intrusted by the best farmers in the High lands, in preference to any other drover iu that district. He might have increased his business to any extent had he conde scended to manage it by deputy ; but except a lad or two, sister's sons of his own, Robin rejected the idea of assist ance, conscious, perhaps, how much his reputation depend ed upon his attending in person to the practical discharge of his duty in every instance. He remained, therefore, contented with the highest premium given to persons of his description, and comforted himself with the hopes that a few journeys to England might enable him to conduct business on his own account, in a manner becoming his birth. For Robin Oig's father, Lachlan ill'Combieli (or, son of any friend, his actual elan surname being M'tire gor) lead been so called by the celebrated Rob Roy, be cause of the particular friendship which had subsisted be tween the grandsire of Robin and that renowned ateran. Some people even say, that Robin Oig derived his Chris tian name from a man, as renowned in the wilds of Loch lomond, as ever was his namesake Robin Hood, in the precincts nsf merry Sherwood. "Of such ancestry," as James Boswell says, " who would not be proud ?" Robin Oig was proud accordingly ; lint hie frequent visits to England and to the Lowlands had given him tact enough to know that pretensions,. which still gave him a little right to distinction in his own lonely glen, might be both obnoxious and ridiculous if preferred elsewhere. The pride of birth, therefore, was like the miser's treasure, the secret subject of his contemplation, but never exhibited to, strangers as a subject of boasting. - " Many were the words of gratulation and good-luck which were bestowed on Robin Oig. The judges commended hie drove, especially the hest of them, which Were Robin's Own property. Some thrust out their snuff-mulls for the yousax Saxon and a c j o k m e et market-.-brave r m a home 0 with notes y o i u n . —t the i v ie e a b y h o a u r l d ut , parting pinch—other tendered the dock-an-dorrach, or parting cup. All cried-.-" Good-luck travel out with pocket-book,) and plenty of English gold in the sporran (pouch of goat-skin.)" The bonny lasses made their adieus more modestly, and more than one, it was said, would have given her best it upon her that his eye last brooch to be certain that it was in (black the rested as he turned towards his road. Robin Oig had just given the preliminary " Hoo-hop I" to urge forward the loiterers of the drove, when there was a cry behind him. Stay, Robin —bide a blink. Here is Janet of Tome hourich—auld Janet, your father's sister." 4t Plague on her, for an auld Highland witch and spae wife," said a farmer from the Carte of Stirling ; she'll cast some of her cantrips . on the cattle." " She canna do that," said another sapient of the same profession—" Robin Oig is no the lad to leave any of them, without tying Saint Mungo's knot on their tails, and that will put to her speed the best witch that ever flew over Dimayet upon a broomstick." It may not be indifferent to the reader to know, that the e l ( l i i , ghand cattle by l spoisand ate witchcraft, •p iareeully w lie ic l i e , to be j udici t o a u k s e i n, or infect- )eopleg uard against by knitting knots of peculiar complexity on t h e tuft of heir which terminates the animal's tail. , But the old woman who was the object of the farmer's suspicion seemed only busied about the drover, without Paying any attention to the flock. Robin , on the con trary, appeared rather impatient of her presence. " What auld-world faacy," he said, "ha s brought you so early from the ingle-side this morning, Muhine? lam sure I bid you good even, and had your God-speed, last night." " And left me more siller than the useless old woman will use till you come back again, bird of my bosom," said the sibyl. " But" it is little that I would care for the food that nourishes me, or the fire that warms me, or for God's blessed sun, itself, if aught but weal should happen to the grandson of my father. So let me,walk the (haul round you, that you may go safe out into the far foreign land, and come safe home." Robin Oig stopped, half embarrassed, half laughing, and signing to those around that be only complied with tho old woman to soothe her humour. In the meantime, she traced around him, with wavering steps; the propitiation, which some have thought has been derived from the Drui dical mythology. It consists, as is well known, in the person who Makes the deasil, walking three times round the person who is the object of the ceremony, taking care to move according to the course of the sun. At once, however she stopped short, and exclaimed, in, a voice of alarm and horror, " Grandson of my father, there is blood on your hand." " Hush, for God's sake, aunt," said Robin Oig ; "you will bring more trouble on yourself with this Taishataragh (second sight) than you will be able to get out of for many a day." The old woman only repeated, with a ghastly look, " There is blood on your hand, and it is English blood. The blood of the Gael is richer and redder. Let us see— let US- - Ere Robin Oig could prevent her, which, indeed, could only have been by positive violence, so hasty and peremptory were her proceedings, she had drawn from his side the dirk, which lodged in the folds of his plaid, and held it up, ex vlaiming, although the weapon gleamed clear and bright in r , even el teerli'ei next eessdßtohonbi thin blood o to : d i rgu a , n g n a , , i i n nt g . h at thßewPci Ill::: nut`]eCr a p, ': v , tr , U , Gi ,l,, .
